The visit focuses on strengthening ties in defence, trade, and maritime security while marking historic participation in India's Republic Day parade.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is on his first state visit to India and will serve as the chief guest at the 76th Republic Day celebrations.
The visit aims to deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Indonesia, established in 2018, with discussions on defence, trade, and health cooperation.
President Subianto will meet with Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to finalize agreements and review bilateral relations in key sectors like security, healthcare, and digital technologies.
A 352-member Indonesian marching and band contingent will participate in the Republic Day parade, marking the first time an Indonesian contingent joins a national day parade abroad.
India and Indonesia, close maritime neighbors, recorded $29.4 billion in trade in 2023, with ongoing talks about defence cooperation, including a potential deal for the BrahMos missile system.
