Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived in Islamabad on Monday for a two-day official visit, marking his first trip to Pakistan since assuming office. He was warmly received by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari at Nur Khan airbase.
The visit holds special significance as it coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Indonesia. The last Indonesian presidential visit was by President Joko Widodo in 2018.
Accompanied by a high-level delegation including key ministers and senior officials, President Prabowo will hold delegation-level talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and call on President Asif Ali Zardari. He will also meet Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir.
The two sides will discuss deepening cooperation in trade, investment, defence, health, IT, climate resilience, education, and culture, besides enhancing collaboration at regional and multilateral forums. Several Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) are expected to be signed.
The Foreign Office stated that the visit will impart fresh momentum to the historic fraternal ties and expand mutually beneficial partnership between the two nations.
