IDXChannel - United States (US) President Joe Biden welcomed the newly inaugurated Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to Washington DC on Tuesday (12/11/2024).
"As we commemorate 75 years of diplomatic relations, we reflect on our shared experiences, from which we have emerged as the world’s second- and third-largest democracies," the two leaders said in a joint statement.
Last year, Indonesia and the US elevated bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership and institutionalized efforts to expand cooperation amidst global and emerging challenges.
The two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to democracy, pluralism, human rights, and a stable and open international system.
They also committed to continue advancing their vision for an open, transparent, inclusive, and rules-based Indo-Pacific regional architecture, with ASEAN at the center, that upholds international law.
