JAKARTA - Environment Minister Jumhur Hidayat attended the prestigious London Climate Action Week (LCAW) 2026, had a direct dialogue with King Charles III at the Super-pollutant High-level Reception at St. James's Palace, London, on Tuesday, June 24, 2026.
This exclusive meeting is an important momentum for Indonesia to show real commitment in maintaining the environment and biodiversity. On this occasion, Minister Jumhur conveyed the warmest greetings from President Prabowo Subianto to King Charles.
"I convey the warmest greetings from President Prabowo Subianto," Jumhur said in a written statement received by VOI, Friday, June 26.
Hearing the name of President Prabowo, King Charles' face immediately lit up. He praised President Prabowo's commitment to leading Indonesia with a focus on people's welfare and the preservation of biodiversity.
"President Prabowo is good and is trying hard to make the nation prosperous by preserving biodiversity in Indonesia," said King Charles with appreciation.
The Minister of the Majority also expressed his gratitude for King Charles' support for Indonesia's efforts to preserve the environment.
"Thank you for supporting Indonesia in efforts to preserve the environment," said Jumhur.
The event brought together thousands of participants from various backgrounds - governments, business, NGOs, academics, researchers, and parliamentarians from around the world. They gathered to find real solutions to the increasingly threatening climate crisis and climate change.
The themes raised are very diverse, ranging from identifying the largest polluters on earth, energy transition, to preserving biodiversity. Indonesia has a strategic role in this discussion because our country is the largest megabiodiversity in the world - combining an incredibly rich land and marine biodiversity.
President Prabowo Subianto and King Charles III apparently have a strong vision in terms of environmental and biodiversity preservation.
The relationship between the two leaders has been well established, supported by a common commitment to protect the earth from environmental damage.
King Charles' concern for Indonesian forests is not just a slogan. In 2008, when he was still a prince, he visited Jambi directly to see the restoration area of the Harapan Forest ecosystem.
The visit was carried out in the context of an environmental mission, where he saw for himself the tropical rainforest conservation project and was not shy to highlight the issue of illegal logging that occurred in the area.
The hands-on experience showed that King Charles is not just talking about the environment, but is actually diving in to understand the real challenges facing tropical countries like Indonesia.
Minister Jumhur's presence at this event was to attend the Super-pollutant High-level Reception - an exclusive event that brings together world leaders, global environmental leaders, and leading climate policymakers.
During the event, the Minister of Jumhur held a dialogue on various causes of super pollutants or main pollutants, including methane gas emissions and black carbon from fossil energy. Other participants include the British Minister of Environment Mary Creagh, the British Minister of Energy and Climate Ed Miliband, UN Secretary-General António Guterres, and various other important figures from various countries.
This meeting shows that Indonesia is taken into account on the world stage in environmental issues.
President Prabowo and his team, including Minister Jumhur, not only talk about climate commitments, but actually take real action to protect our forests, seas, and biodiversity.
Every decision taken by the government in maintaining the environment is an investment for the future of our grandchildren. A healthy earth is a earth that can provide a decent life for everyone.
