Beijing – Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport for his first official visit to China, part of a broader diplomatic tour. He was warmly received with a guard of honor at 6:27 PM local time (5:30 PM WIB) on Friday (October 8).
Among the high-ranking Chinese officials welcoming Prabowo were China’s Minister of Agriculture Han Jun, Indonesian Ambassador to China Djauhari Oratmangun, Indonesian Defense Attaché in Beijing Brigadier General (Marine) Benny P. Nadeak, and China’s Ambassador to Indonesia Wang Lutong.
