PM Modi receives grand welcome in Jakarta as Indonesia visit begins

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Jakarta Monday afternoon, kicking off his two-day visit to Indonesia. In a special gesture, President Prabowo Subianto personally received PM Modi at the airport as he was accorded a warm welcome.

Fighter jets from the Indonesian Air Force accompanied the Indian PM’s plane from the time it entered the Indonesian airspace.



At the airport, PM Modi witnessed traditional Indonesian performances.

During the visit, PM Modi will hold bilateral discussions with the Indonesian President and review progress made in the partnership.

Indonesia is the first stop on PM Modi’s three-nation tour. It will be followed by visits to Australia and New Zealand, later in the week.
