TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived back in the country early Monday morning after concluding a working visit to New Delhi to attend the 2026 BRICS Summit.

The aircraft carrying President Prabowo and his delegation landed at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, at 00:08 WIB (Western Indonesia Time).

President Prabowo was welcomed upon arrival by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto, National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, and State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Chief Muhammad Herindra.

President Prabowo attended the 2026 BRICS Summit as a full member during his working visit to New Delhi on September 12–13, 2026.

At the forum, President Prabowo highlighted the importance of BRICS nations standing together to strengthen each country’s position and resilience.

“By uniting, we also become stronger. Strength always begins domestically with our people—through our ability to meet their food needs, guarantee the energy supplies they require, educate our children, and provide them with opportunities for a prosperous life,” said President Prabowo.

The President emphasized that meeting the public’s basic needs is a crucial part of building a resilient and self-reliant nation.

“That is how we build a resilient and truly self-reliant nation,” the President stated.

President Prabowo’s visit to New Delhi also reaffirmed Indonesia’s commitment to continuously strengthening cooperation with BRICS member states and partners.

Indonesia’s participation in the 2026 BRICS Summit series was also part of an effort to foster closer collaboration in navigating global dynamics and achieving inclusive and sustainable growth.

After completing the full agenda in New Delhi, President Prabowo and a small delegation immediately returned to Indonesia.

Accompanying the President on the flight were Minister of Foreign Affairs Sugiono, Minister of Investment and Downstreaming Rosan Roeslani, Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
