JAKARTA: Indonesia is seeking to strengthen economic and defense ties with Jordan, as President Prabowo Subianto hosted King Abdullah in Jakarta on Friday.
King Abdullah is on a two-day visit to Indonesia as a part of his Asia tour, which included stops in Japan, Vietnam and Singapore, and will conclude in Pakistan.
He was personally welcomed by Prabowo at the Halim Perdanakusuma airport in Jakarta, before receiving a grand ceremony at the Merdeka Palace.
The two leaders then discussed developments in ties and opportunities for further cooperation, Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono said.
“Tomorrow, (King Abdullah) will hold a meeting with Danantara to discuss more intensive economic cooperation across various areas … especially in the phosphate sector,” he told reporters after the meeting, referring to the Indonesian sovereign wealth fund.
