PM Modi to Visit Indonesia on 6-8 July, Reciprocating Prabowo's State Visit

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been confirmed to visit Indonesia from 6 to 8 July 2026, fulfilling an invitation from President Prabowo Subianto and reciprocating the President’s state visit to India in January 2025. The confirmation was delivered by Indian Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakravorty, during a press conference at the Indian Embassy in Jakarta on Friday. “Prime Minister Modi will be here. The visit will be brief, only for two nights,” said Ambassador Chakravorty. According to current plans, PM Modi will visit two cities, namely Jakarta and Yogyakarta. Chakravorty stated that the Prime Minister is scheduled to arrive in Jakarta on the evening of 6 July. On 7 July, PM Modi will commence the state agenda with a bilateral meeting with President Prabowo, followed by a state banquet. After the meeting, the Prime Minister will deliver a speech to the meeting participants. On the evening of 7 July, PM Modi will also address the Indian community in Indonesia. The following day, 8 July, he will continue his visit to Yogyakarta before departing for Australia. Ambassador Chakravorty noted that the visit is part of efforts to strengthen India’s strategic relations with key partner countries in the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia. He said India and Indonesia have established a comprehensive strategic partnership, with relations that have been long-standing and rooted in strong civilisational ties. Nevertheless, the challenge ahead is to ensure that this friendship becomes increasingly relevant for both societies and delivers tangible benefits in daily life. Therefore, PM Modi’s visit will focus on strengthening several pillars of cooperation. The first pillar is defence and security, given that both India and Indonesia are maritime nations sharing a maritime neighbourhood. The second pillar is trade and investment, as both countries are major trading nations. Discussions will also cover food security, energy security, downstream cooperation, critical mineral development, and capacity building in health and education. Overall, there are around four to five main pillars that will be the focus of cooperation. The detailed specifics of the bilateral discussions will be announced during the visit.
