President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting with King Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein at Al Husseiniya Palace in Amman, Jordan, this Wednesday afternoon. This meeting is the main agenda of President Prabowo's visit to Amman on February 24-25, 2026, and marks the second such encounter following previous visits. Discussions are expected to cover bilateral cooperation and global geopolitical issues, including recovery in Gaza.
President Prabowo Subianto arrived in Amman as part of his state visit itinerary. The bilateral meeting with the King of Jordan is scheduled at Al Husseiniya Palace on the afternoon of February 25, 2026. This agenda is the primary focus of President Prabowo's visit to Amman, spanning February 24-25, 2026.
This marks the second meeting between the two leaders following the first in Amman in mid-April 2025. In previous encounters, including the second in Jakarta on November 14-15, 2025, the two nations agreed on cooperation in defense, agriculture, education, waqf and religious affairs, higher education, science and technology, and health.
During the Jakarta meeting last year, the King of Jordan invited Indonesia to invest in three strategic sectors: gas pipelining, toll roads, and logistics.
For today's meeting, President Prabowo will be welcomed with an honor ceremony by the Jordanian Royal Armed Forces, followed by a tete-a-tete, and then lead a bilateral delegation meeting between the Indonesian and Jordanian governments.
President Prabowo is accompanied by Foreign Minister Sugiono, Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia, Presidential Special Assistant for Communication and Policy Analysis Dirgayuza Setiawan, Presidential Special Assistant for Strategic Data Analysis Agung Gumilar Saputra, and Indonesia's Ambassador to Jordan Ade Padmo Sarwono. These officials also accompanied the President on prior visits to Washington DC and London.
The meeting is expected to follow up on bilateral cooperation in strategic fields and discuss global geopolitical dynamics, particularly the stages of recovery in Gaza, Palestine. Indonesia and Jordan are both members of the Gaza Board of Peace (BoP), alongside countries such as the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt. The BoP aims to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, foster peace, and support Palestinian independence.
Since 2025, the two countries have collaborated on sending humanitarian aid to Gaza during blockades imposed by Israeli forces. Jordan directly borders the West Bank of Palestine and Israel.
