Foreign Minister Says He Has Communications About The Prabowo-Trump Meeting In The US

JAKARTA - Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said there had been communication regarding the possible meeting of President Prabowo Subianto and US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of President Prabowo's visit to New York, United States.

However, his party has not yet received a schedule related to President Prabowo's meeting with President Trump, said Foreign Minister Sugiono.

"We haven't got a schedule yet," said Foreign Minister Sugiono quoting Antara.

For information, President Prabowo departed from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base, Jakarta, Friday (19/9) night, to Osaka, Japan, followed by a visit to the US to attend the UN General Assembly in New York.

President Prabowo is scheduled to deliver a speech in third place in the UN General Debate session on September 23, 2025, after the President of Brazil and the President of the US.

This means that President Prabowo will be in the same location as President Trump when the UN General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters, New York is held.

When asked further about the possibility of the meeting between Prabowo and Trump, Foreign Minister Sugiono admitted that his party had not yet received a schedule even though it had established communication so that the meeting could be held.

"It's been (communication)," he said.

On the previous occasion, President Prabowo had time to talk about his conversation with President Trump regarding the import rate negotiations last July.

Prabowo, who had just arrived from his state visit from Brazil to France at the time, revealed that President Trump plans to meet him around September-October 2025.

"He said (meetings) may be around September-October," said President Prabowo when giving a press statement at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, Wednesday (16/7).

While joking, President Prabowo at that time said he was a little afraid that President Trump would invite him to play golf.

Prabowo did not hesitate to admit that his golfing was not good because he had not practiced for a long time.

"But I'm a bit horrified that he (Trump) took golf. My golf was really bad, I had to have private golf lessons. It used to be good, now I can't anymore," Prabowo said with a small laugh.
