Prabowo Subianto, the Indonesian Minister of Defense and President-elect for the term 2024-2029, recently took a group selfie with State Palace reporters after a work meeting with President Joko Widodo at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta. The moment happened after Prabowo finished his meeting and lunch with Jokowi, and was greeted by the media upon exiting the Palace.
During the encounter, a reporter complimented Prabowo on his cheerful appearance, to which he responded with a smile and approached the reporters for an interview. Prabowo shared that he had just met with President Jokowi and had requested time to report on the outcomes of his diplomatic meetings during a two-day visit to Singapore, where he attended the 21st IISS Shangri-La Dialogue and met with various key figures including Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin.
After the interview, the media colleagues requested a group photo with Prabowo, who graciously obliged and posed with the palace reporters for the moment. Prabowo expressed his thanks before departing for his car, concluding the friendly interaction with the reporters.
