Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto will attend the 11th Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, as a guest of honor at President Vladimir Putin’s invitation, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya said.

“President Putin specifically invited President Prabowo as the EEF’s main guest of honor, reflecting close Indonesia-Russia ties strengthened through direct diplomacy,” Teddy said here Tuesday night.

Prabowo’s participation marks his second appearance at a Russian economic forum as a specially invited guest of honor, following last year’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

“This is the second time President Prabowo has been invited as a guest of honor at Russia’s international economic forums,” Teddy said.

Teddy said Russia views Indonesia as a key strategic partner in the Asia-Pacific, as a respected ASEAN member and an important representative of the Global South and Muslim world. During his visit, Prabowo will attend the Eastern Economic Forum’s main event and hold bilateral talks with Putin.

Prabowo will be accompanied by Coordinating Economic Minister Airlangga Hartarto, Foreign Minister Sugiono, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia and Higher Education Minister Brian Yuliarto.

The delegation also includes Investment Minister Rosan Roeslani and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.

Prabowo and the officials departed together aboard Garuda Indonesia-1 from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in Jakarta at 11:20 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
