Rio de Janeiro — President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto was greeted personally by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva upon his arrival at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro, the venue of the 2025 BRICS Summit, on Saturday (July 6).
Prabowo arrived precisely at 10:53 a.m. local time after departing from his accommodation. He was welcomed with an honor guard and a red carpet—a tradition reserved for heads of state at major international gatherings, including this year’s BRICS Summit in Brazil.
After a warm handshake with Lula da Silva, the two leaders posed for an official photograph against the BRICS backdrop, marking Indonesia’s formal entry into the influential economic bloc alongside Brazil, Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other member nations.
Prabowo’s presence was more than symbolic. He was accompanied by a senior delegation, including Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto, Deputy Finance Minister Thomas Djiwandono, Deputy Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya. The Indonesian delegation’s participation underscores the government’s determination to play an active role in shaping a new, fairer, and more balanced global economic order.Terjemahan:
