Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto arrived at the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, Saturday morning, May 30, after completing his state visit to France.
President Prabowo was greeted by Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, and Deputy Commander of the Indonesian National Army Lieutenant General TNI Tandyo Budi Revita. Prabowo's visit to France resulted in a number of important achievements in strengthening bilateral relations between Indonesia and France.
In the series of state agendas, the two countries strengthened cooperation in various strategic fields, including economy, investment, trade, and defense. One of the main achievements of the visit was the launch of the France-Indonesia High Level Business Council, which brought together leaders of the two countries' business world.
The forum also produced a number of new commercial agreements that are expected to strengthen economic relations and open up opportunities for wider cooperation in the future.
The momentum of the business council's launch resulted in four new commercial deals worth USD 3.5 billion or Rp61.25 trillion (assuming a rate of Rp17,500/USD) which are focused on the energy security, trade, and defense cooperation sectors.
Apart from the state agenda, Prabowo also took the time to meet and greet the Indonesian diaspora in Paris, including performing the Eid al-Adha prayer with the Indonesian people. The visit to France reaffirms Indonesia's commitment to expanding strategic partnerships with various friendly countries to support national development and strengthen Indonesia's position in the global arena.
On a different occasion, the Minister of Investment and Industrialization/Head of BKPM Rosan Roeslani assessed that the France-Indonesia High Level Business Council was an important milestone in strengthening economic cooperation between Indonesia and France, as well as expanding mutually beneficial investment and trade opportunities.
The inauguration of the high-level business council took place on May 28, 2026 and was witnessed directly by the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto and the President of France Emmanuel Macron.
