Prabowo Greets Indonesian Students in Amman, Hears Their Hopes

Amman (ANTARA) – President Prabowo Subianto took the time to greet and have a brief conversation with a number of Indonesian students who welcomed the President’s arrival in Amman, Jordan, on Tuesday evening local time. During the brief meeting in the lobby of the hotel where President Prabowo was staying, several students also conveyed their hopes directly to the Head of State. “We told (the President) that we pray for his good health, and we are very happy to meet (the President) here, in Jordan. Meeting with the President, which is difficult to do in Indonesia, but here we are, Alhamdulillah, able to meet him,” said Said Muhammad Aqil, a representative of the Indonesian students, who was interviewed after the welcoming event for President Prabowo in Amman, Jordan, on Tuesday evening. Said Muhammad Aqil, along with other students, namely Fadhil and Adil, are students at the University of Jordan, the oldest and most prestigious state university in Jordan. Said is studying Fiqh and Usluhuddin, while Fadhil is studying Syariah. “In the future, we hope that the President will give us special attention to the students and the diaspora abroad so that we can all be more enthusiastic in our studies by receiving support from the country,” said Said Muhammad Aqil. Dozens of Indonesian students in Amman, most of whom study at the University of Jordan, came to the hotel where President Prabowo was staying since Tuesday afternoon. Most of them wore batik shirts and carried small Indonesian flags to wave when welcoming President Prabowo. “We are all holding the Indonesian flag, we are all Indonesian citizens here, we are not foreigners. We are Indonesian citizens, we are proud to be Indonesian citizens studying abroad, who will later return to Indonesia bringing knowledge and enthusiasm when returning to our homeland,” said Said Muhammad Aqil, representing his fellow Indonesian students in Amman, Jordan. President Prabowo, along with a limited delegation of state officials, arrived in Amman on Tuesday evening to hold a bilateral meeting with the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, King Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, on Wednesday (February 25).
