Indonesia has set a target to secure at least 100 gold medals during the 10th ASEAN Para Games, which is slated to take place from January 18 to 25, 2020, said the committee's Vice Secretary Rima Ferdianto.

Indonesian athletes will compete in 16 sports and some of them are considered potential to contribute gold medals to the country's contingent, including athletics, swimming, badminton, table tennis, chess and weightlifting, according to Rima.
