Indonesia's President Prabowo Subianto held intimate conversations with several state leaders during the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on Monday, according to a press statement issued by the President's media team on Tuesday.
The summit was held at the Museum of Modern Art in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the statement, Prabowo chatted and had intimate conversations with Singapore Prime Minister (PM) Lawrence Wong, Vietnamese PM Pham Minh Chinh, and Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim.
Prabowo also had a friendly exchange with the Emir of Qatar. The two shared a warm hug, signifying the close friendship between the two countries.
On a separate occasion, the President also talked with Australian PM Anthony Albanese, and the two exchanged laughter.
There was also a moment when Prabowo sat next to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with Erdogan holding Prabowo's right hand during their talk.
Earlier, at the G20 Summit of the 2024 Brazil Presidency, Prabowo expressed his commitment to fighting poverty and hunger by making the two issues a national priority.
He revealed that his government has allocated a large budget for education.
"Only with peace and stability we can overcome poverty and hunger. We also urge the G20 countries to use our collective strength to strengthen multilateral efforts on these issues," he said.
Prabowo is currently on a five-nation tour to China, the United States, Peru, Brazil, and the United Kingdom.
The overseas visit reflects Indonesia's commitment to respecting, maintaining, and strengthening sound diplomatic ties with these countries.
As part of this visit, Prabowo earlier met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, the United States President Joe Biden, and attended the APEC Summit in Lima, Peru.
