JAKARTA - The Presidential Palace held a ceremony to welcome the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto and the release of the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo.

The ceremony at the Merdeka Palace was commanded by Colonel Inf. Danang Prasetyo Wibowo, who is Sarwo Edhie Wibowo's grandson and the nephew of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

Before the ceremony started, Prabowo took the time to talk with Jokowi inside the Palace. In the same room, Iriana Joko Widodo also talked with Prabowo's son Didit Hedirastyo and Prabowo's ex-wife, Titiek Suharto.

The ceremony begins by singing the anthem Indonesia Raya. Then, the ceremonial commander submitted a report to Prabowo as the inspector of the ceremony accompanied by Jokowi beside him.

Then, Prabowo and Jokowi walked to inspect the troops. After that, the closing of the welcoming ceremony for Prabowo and Jokowi was accompanied by a flypass or flying action for the formation of a TNI aircraft that crossed the air above the Merdeka Palace.

Shortly thereafter, Prabowo and Jokowi left the location of the ceremony. It is planned that Jokowi and Iriana will immediately return to Solo.

Prabowo also took Jokowi to Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base using the same Garuda Indonesia 1 tactical vehicle as Jokowi.

Leaving the Merdeka Palace, Jokowi and Prabowo's trip to Halim Perdanakusuma Airport was greeted by people standing along Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat to Jalan Sudirman.
