King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein of Jordan begins a two-day state visit to Indonesia today, Friday, 14 November 2025.

During the visit, he will meet President Prabowo Subianto at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.

The arrival of the Jordanian monarch was confirmed by Minister of Foreign Affairs Sugiono, who stated that preparations had been completed for the official engagement.

“The plan is to receive the King of Jordan, who will come to Jakarta. It is planned for November 14,” said Foreign Minister Sugiono in a written statement issued on Friday.

The meeting follows their earlier engagement in Amman on 14 April 2025, when President Prabowo visited King Abdullah II at the Al Husseiniya Palace.

During that meeting, the Jordanian King conveyed his appreciation for Prabowo’s visit and referred to the longstanding relationship between the two leaders, which he noted had begun during their younger years as soldiers.
