President Prabowo Subianto from Indonesia received a warm welcome from Indonesian citizens upon his arrival in New Delhi, India. Nadine Ardiani Chairunisa, a Marketing Communication student at Amity University, along with fellow student Demas Fadel Anggara, eagerly waited for Prabowo’s arrival since 5 pm and described the experience as exciting yet nerve-wracking due to delays. Other Indonesians present, including Rajendra, Marvell, and Adyatama, expressed gratitude for Prabowo’s gesture of shaking hands with them upon arrival and shared hopes for a successful working visit and a brighter future under his leadership.
Prabowo’s visit to India not only symbolizes a new phase in bilateral relations but also commemorates the 75th anniversary of diplomatic cooperation between Indonesia and India. Before leaving Jakarta, Prabowo expressed pride in being invited as the chief guest at India’s 76th Republic Day celebrations, considering it a great honor for Indonesia. The participation of Indonesian TNI troops in the event showcased the strong ties between the two nations. The visit also includes planned meetings with Indian President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to discuss enhancing cooperation on various strategic issues.
