Prime Minister Ishiba would also pay an official visit to the Presidential Palace in Bogor, attend a state ceremony, and meet with President Prabowo Subianto to discuss cooperation between the two countries.
Ishiba said that Indonesia was one of the countries he would visit on his first overseas trip. This is because Indonesia was considered to have a large economic market, so Japan's Ishiba wanted to improve relations with the Southeast Asian region.
