The video released Monday offers a rare insight into the flurry of private conversations the Republican has with world leaders before taking office on January 20.

“I would like to visit you personally, wherever you are. I am willing to fly to congratulate you personally, sir,” Subianto told Trump. “That’s so nice,” Trump replies. “We’ll do that whenever you want.”

Trump told Subianto he was doing a “great” job leading Indonesia, before adding: “And your English is so good – very good, that English.” Subianto replies that all his “training is American.”

In the three-minute video clip of the conversation, Subianto also expresses relief that Trump survived a pair of assassination attempts during the campaign, while Trump says he would “love to go to your country someday.”

Trump concludes by telling Subianto, “You call whenever you want. You have my number. This is my number,” paying my respects to the people of Indonesia.
