Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has departed for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, following the completion of his state visit and participation in the 76th Republic Day celebrations of India. According to a statement from the Presidential Secretariat on Monday, January 27, 2025, Prabowo, accompanied by a limited entourage, took off from Air Force Station (AFS) Palam in New Delhi on the evening of January 26, 2025. Among those present to bid farewell were the Indian Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakravorty; the Indonesian Ambassador in New Delhi, Ina Krisnamurthi; the Defense Attaché of the Indonesian Embassy in New Delhi, Rear Admiral Ardiansyah Muqsit; India's Minister of State for External Affairs, Pabitra Margherita; and the Director for South Asia, Ashish Kumar Sinha.
