Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto highlighted his commitment to maintaining good relations between Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during a meeting with the UAE President, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ).

"Your Highness experience and leadership in every field, especially in development and geopolitics are very meaningful," Prabowo said at the meeting, as shown in a video uploaded on the YouTube channel of the Presidential Secretariat on Sunday.

Prabowo underlined that the two countries have had good relations for a long time, even before he was inaugurated as the President of Indonesia.

"Alhamdulillah (thank God), I have been trusted by the people to lead the Indonesian nation and I want to continue the good relations," he said.

President Prabowo also noted that he wanted to learn from President MBZ in making breakthroughs for the country.
