At this year’s 76th Republic Day celebration on 26 January, India invited the President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto to be the Chief Guest.
India will celebrate its 76th Republic Day today, in a grand showcase of the country's unique blend of rich cultural diversity, unity, equality, development and military prowess at the Kartavya Path.
The two leaders greeted each other with a handshake and proceeded for the delegation-level meeting.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived for a four-day visit in New Delhi on Thursday night during which he will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and will attend the 76th Republic Day Parade in India.
Widodo, popularly known as Jokowi, beat Prabowo Subianto in April elections to secure another term as president of the world's third-biggest democracy.
President Widodo has couched his warning of stern action in accordance with the law with a fervent appeal to refer objections related to the election to the Constitutional Court.
Widodo held off declaring victory after the unofficial results last month as Subianto insisted he was the archipelago's next leader.
A festive atmosphere dominated polling stations across Jakarta, with voters proudly showing off purple-stained fingers, dipped in indelible ink after voting.
