President Prabowo scheduled for bilateral meeting with King of Jordan today
Amman (ANTARA) – President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with the King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, King Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, at the Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman, Jordan, on Wednesday afternoon.
The bilateral meeting with the Jordanian King today will be the main agenda in President Prabowo’s visit to Amman from 24–25 February 2026. This meeting will also be the second time President Prabowo has met with the King, following his first state visit to Amman, Jordan, in mid-April 2025.
During the meeting, President Prabowo will be greeted with an honour guard ceremony from the Jordanian Armed Forces, after which the two heads of state will hold a tête-à-tête, followed by a bilateral meeting between the delegation of the Republic of Indonesia and the delegation of the Jordanian government.
During the state visit at the Al Husseiniya Palace, President Prabowo will be accompanied by Foreign Minister Sugiono, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia, Special Assistant to the President of the Republic of Indonesia for Communication and Policy Analysis Dirgayuza Setiawan, and Special Assistant to the President of the Republic of Indonesia for Strategic Data Analysis Agung Gumilar Saputra. Also present will be the Indonesian Ambassador to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Ade Padmo Sarwono.
Foreign Minister Sugiono, Cabinet Secretary Teddy, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil, and the two special assistants to the President of the Republic of Indonesia have accompanied President Prabowo on his visits to Washington DC, United States, and London, United Kingdom, since last week.
In several bilateral meetings between President Prabowo and the King of Jordan, the first of which was held in Amman on 14–15 April 2025, and the second in Jakarta on 14–15 November 2025, the two heads of state agreed on a number of areas of cooperation, including in the sectors of defence, agriculture, education, waqf and religious affairs, higher education, science and technology, and health.
During the meeting in Jakarta last year, the King of Jordan invited Indonesia to invest in three strategic sectors, namely gas pipelines, toll roads, and logistics.
For today’s meeting, President Prabowo and the King of Jordan are likely to follow up on several discussions regarding bilateral cooperation in strategic areas, and discuss several issues related to global geopolitical dynamics, especially regarding the stages of recovery in Gaza, Palestine, given that Indonesia and Jordan are currently both members of the Gaza Board of Peace.
The two countries, along with other countries with a majority Muslim population such as the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt, are members of the Board of Peace, the aim of which is, among other things, to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, create peace, and support the independence of the Palestinian people.
Since 2025, Jordan and Indonesia have collaborated in sending humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza, especially during the periods when blockades were imposed by the Zionist Israeli military at land crossings. Jordan is one of the countries that borders Palestine, specifically in the West Bank, and also borders Israel.
