Former President of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), visited President-elect Prabowo Subianto at his residence on Jl. Kertanegara No. 4, South Jakarta, on Thursday (19/9). SBY arrived in the afternoon and departed at 14:30 WIB in a black Lexus with the license plate B 414 RI. The two leaders had a private discussion over lunch and coffee, lasting about an hour.
Prabowo expressed his gratitude to SBY for the in-depth discussion on his Instagram account, @prabowo. A photo accompanying the post showed them seated at a dining table, with food and coffee in front of them. SBY was dressed in a light blue shirt, while Prabowo wore a light brown safari suit. Prabowo stated their optimism about working together to improve the welfare of all Indonesian people.
After the meeting, Prabowo accompanied SBY to his car, where they shook hands. Prabowo’s son, Didit Hediprasetyo, and Gerindra Party Deputy Chairman Sugiono were also present during the meeting. SBY had previously mentioned in various forums, including the Democratic Party’s anniversary celebration, that he frequently discusses matters with Prabowo and praised Prabowo’s clear ideals, agenda, and targets.
