Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto: The Government of India has invited Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto as the chief guest of Republic Day 2025. This is the third time that an Indonesian President has been made the chief guest at this prestigious occasion. However, according to reports in Pakistani media, Subianto may visit Pakistan after the Republic Day celebrations, which has created a stir in India.
India does not want Indonesian President Subianto to combine his visit to India with his visit to Pakistan. According to Indian diplomatic sources, India has raised this issue with Indonesia and expressed hope that Subianto does not go directly to Pakistan after the Republic Day celebrations. This concern of India is especially due to cross border terrorism and other disputed issues with Pakistan.
Possible impact of Pakistan visit
If Subianto travels to Islamabad immediately after the Republic Day celebrations, it could be a negative signal for India. There have been tense relations between India and Pakistan for a long time and in such a situation, a visit of a prominent foreign leader to Pakistan soon after his visit to India could weaken India’s diplomatic position.
Strengthening India-Indonesia relations
India and Indonesia have strong relations based on political independence, economic self-reliance and independent foreign policy. Indonesia is India’s largest trading partner in the ASEAN region, and the two countries agreed to create a comprehensive plan for security cooperation in 2016. Due to these strong relations, India does not want any incident to have a negative impact on them.
precedent
In 2018, when Joko Widodo was the chief guest of Republic Day, he visited Pakistan immediately after his visit to India. This time, the Indian government is trying to ensure that such a situation does not happen again.
