JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto explained his complete agenda in his first visit abroad as Head of State of the Republic of Indonesia met with state leaders to attend several Summits.

"First, I fulfilled the invitation from the President of the People's Republic of China, then from Beijing I will fly directly to Washington, DC to fulfill the invitation from the President of the United States," Prabowo said while giving a press statement at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, Antara, Friday, November 8.

After the state visit in the US is complete, the President of the Republic of Indonesia will continue his visit to the two summits, namely the APEC Summit which will take place in Lima, Peru and the G20 Summit in Brazil.

After leaving Brazil, the President is then scheduled to return to visit another head of state. Prabowo is scheduled to meet British Royal Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

"After that, it is possible that I will stop by several Middle Eastern countries on my way back to the Republic of Indonesia," said the Head of State.

During his inaugural visit, President Prabowo Subianto was accompanied by Minister of Foreign Affairs Sugiono and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.

Other members of the Red and White Cabinet who released the President's departure were Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, Coordinating Minister for Polkam Budi Gunawan, and Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid.

Prabowo, in his direction at the introductory session of the plenary cabinet at the Presidential Office, Jakarta, some time ago, said that this overseas visit was unavoidable because all of them had strategic value.

"So, I cannot avoid these things (visit abroad) because all have strategic value, they are also related to our economic situation," Prabowo said in his direction at the introduction to the plenary cabinet meeting at the Presidential Office, Jakarta, Wednesday (6/11).
