On the 25th, the South Korean government announced its official invitation to Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto for a state visit. A representative from the Blue House stated that during the Korea-Indonesia summit at the APEC meeting in November last year, President Yoon requested President Prabowo to visit South Korea, to which President Prabowo agreed. The scheduling process for the visit is currently ongoing, and the specific dates will be confirmed and publicly announced once both parties reach an agreement.

It is reported that President Prabowo is considering coming to South Korea in April for this state visit. Discussions between the two leaders are expected to include key topics such as defense cooperation focusing on the joint development and acquisition of the KF-X fighter jet, as well as strategies for expanding investment and trade related to critical mineral supply chains, including nickel.

This state visit underscores the strengthening of bilateral relations between South Korea and Indonesia, particularly in the defense and trade sectors. The collaboration on military technology and critical resources is significant amidst ongoing global supply chain challenges, enhancing mutual cooperation as both nations seek to solidify their partnerships in these domains.
