Indonesia’s Prabowo Makes Historic First Presidential Visit to Australia
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has invited Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto for a visit to Australia. This marks Prabowo's first watch to the country since becoming president last year. The visit, scheduled for Wednesday, is a sign of the deep trust and unbreakable bond shared between the two nations as neighbors, partners, and friends.
Albanese met Prabowo in Jakarta in May 2023 for their annual leaders' meeting. Now, Prabowo will return the hospitality, making Australia his first watch as president. Albanese is delighted to host Prabowo, expressing his pleasure at the opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties.
Newly elected Australian prime ministers typically kickstart their international engagements with a visit to Jakarta. This tradition underscores the significance of the Indonesia-Australia relationship. Prabowo last visited Australia in August 2022, during his tenure as minister of defense and president-elect.
Prabowo's visit to Australia is a testament to the importance both nations place on their bilateral relationship. As neighbors and close partners, regular high-level exchanges like this one are crucial for maintaining and enhancing the bond between Indonesia and Australia.
