TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto has arrived in Jordan as part of a state visit to several Middle Eastern countries on Sunday, April 13, 2025. The Head of State was directly welcomed by King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan in a welcoming ceremony.
Deputy for Protocol, Press, and Media at the Presidential Secretariat, Yusuf Permana, stated that President Prabowo arrived around 17:57 local time at the Military Airport in Amman, Jordan, after a flight from Doha, Qatar.
Prior to landing, the aircraft carrying President Prabowo received strict escort from two Jordanian Air Force fighter jets until it landed safely. Under the airplane staircase, King Abdullah II was waiting to give a direct welcome, followed by an official welcoming ceremony at the airfield.
"The official welcoming ceremony began with the introduction of the two official delegations to both country's leaders. Then, the national anthems of each country were played, followed by an inspection of the honor guard," said Yusuf.
After the honor guard inspection, the welcome continued with a mini parade and the honor of the troops in front of President Prabowo and King Abdullah II. As the ceremony concluded, two fighter jets flew over the ceremony location.
He mentioned that King Abdullah II not only officially welcomed President Prabowo, but also personally escorted the Head of State to the hotel where he would stay. "He even drove the presidential vehicle, taking or accompanying Mr. President to the overnight place in Amman, Jordan," said Yusuf.
The visit to Jordan is one of Prabowo's destinations as part of visiting several countries in the Middle East. The visit aims to strengthen strategic cooperation and encourage the resolution of the Gaza conflict through diplomatic and humanitarian channels.
Prior to the visit to Jordan, Prabowo met with Emir Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani at the Amiri Diwan Palace on Sunday, April 13, 2025. Prabowo stated that Qatar is committed to investing US$2 billion in the Nusantara Power Anagata or Danantara. According to him, this is part of the increased cooperation between Indonesia and Qatar.
"He (Emir of Qatar) will invest in Danantara. A joint fund, he is committed to two billion US dollars, yes," said Prabowo during the state visit in Doha, Qatar, monitored online from the President's Secretariat's YouTube channel on Sunday, April 13, 2025.
