P
resident Prabowo Subianto returned to home soil late on Wednesday after wrapping up his official tour to Japan and South Korea, where he engaged in high-level meetings to discuss the impacts on Asian countries from the United States-Israeli war on Iran.
The presidential aircraft carrying Prabowo and his entourage landed just before midnight on April 1 at Halim Perdanakusum Air Force Base in East Jakarta, where they were greeted by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka and other cabinet ministers.
Among those greeting the President at the air base were Indonesian Military (TNI) commander Gen. Agus Subianto, National Police chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo and State Intelligence Agency (BIN) chief Muhammad Herindra.
Prabowo departed on Sunday evening for his four-day East Asia tour, which also marked his first state visits to Japan and South Korea since taking office in October 2024.
In Tokyo, Prabowo and Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held bilateral talks with an aim to strengthen cooperation and investment between the two countries across various sectors, including energy and security. He also met with Emperor Naruhito and attended a bilateral business forum.
Prabowo then departed on his tour’s second leg to Seoul, where was welcomed on Wednesday with a state ceremony by South Korean counterpart Lee Jae-myung. The occasion marked the second meeting between the two leaders after they first met on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Gyeongju last November.
