JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto has arrived at Haneda Airport, Tokyo, Japan, to begin an official state visit. This visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations as well as increase strategic cooperation between Indonesia and Japan in various sectors.

The Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Prasetyo Hadi confirmed that the President would discuss crucial points with the Japanese government. This meeting is considered vital given Japan's position as a long-term strategic partner for Indonesia.

Prasetyo explained that the main focus of the talks included the trade and technology transfer sectors. In addition, strengthening the quality of education as well as forestry and environmental issues were also on the agenda.

This visit was made at the direct invitation of Emperor Naruhito. During his stay in the "Land of the Rising Sun", the Head of State is scheduled to hold a formal meeting with Emperor Naruhito and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

"The agenda is a meeting with the Emperor and of course a meeting with Prime Minister Takaichi will continue," added Prasetyo.
