"Vladimir Putin sends his best wishes for the upcoming Christmas and New Year in 2026 to the heads of state and governments of foreign countries, including President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto," as stated in a written statement from the Russian presidency on the Kremlin's website accessed on Tuesday, December 30, 2025, as quoted by Antara.

In their latest meeting, Prabowo stated that the Russia-Indonesia relationship had developed very consistently this year, which also coincided with the 75th year of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Prabowo invited Putin to visit Indonesia, an invitation that the Russian president appreciated.
"Thank you very much. I will definitely come. With pleasure, thank you very much," said Putin, as quoted by RIA Novosti.
