Meeting at the Bogor Presidential Palace in West Java, Prabowo and Erdogan announced their intent to strengthen bilateral ties through trade and cooperation across many sectors.
"We are determined to strengthen the partnership between Indonesia and Türkiye," said Prabowo, highlighting the importance of collaboration.
Prabowo emphasized the mutual goal of strengthening defense industry ties, stating: "We desire to further support defense industry cooperation efforts between Indonesia, Türkiye."
