President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, made a significant appearance at the 79th Bhayangkara Day commemoration ceremony before embarking on a visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in Jakarta. Clad in a brown safari suit and black peci, Prabowo arrived at the airbase around 3:15 PM Western Indonesia Time and was bid farewell by top officials present for his official state visit. Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Minister of Defense Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi, Foreign Minister Sugiono, and other key figures from Indonesia and Saudi Arabia also accompanied him.
Before boarding the presidential aircraft at 3:30 PM, President Prabowo took a moment to observe military cadets rehearsing a marching band performance at the airbase alongside Defense Minister Sjafrie.
