During this visit, President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to hold a number of meetings.

“Among them are meetings with King Charles III, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and Deputy British Prime Minister Angela Rayner,” said an official release from the Indonesian Presidential Palace.

During his state visit to the UK, Prabowo said he specifically invited King Charles III to return to Indonesia.

“He has been to Indonesia twice, and I invite him to come again,” the President said in a press statement regarding the working visit in the UK, as quoted by the Presidential Secretariat in Jakarta on Friday, November 22, 2024.

In addition to meeting King Charles, Prabowo also held a bilateral meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the PM’s office at Downing Street 10, London, UK.

The meeting discussed various strategic issues in order to strengthen bilateral relations and cooperation between Indonesia and the UK.

The Indonesian President arrived at Downing Street at around 12:35 local time. His arrival was welcomed directly by PM Keir Starmer in front of the main door of the PM’s office.

In his remarks, PM Starmer expressed his appreciation for President Prabowo’s visit to his office. He was honoured by Prabowo’s arrival.

A unique moment occurred when President Prabowo Subianto met British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at Downing Street, London, England, on Thursday, November 21, 2024.

Not only PM Keir but also Prabowo met the famous cat kept in the British PM’s office, Larry the Cat. President Prabowo uploaded this moment to his Instagram account, @prabowo.

The first photo shows Prabowo stroking the grey and white cat’s head. Larry the cat is also seen looking down while being petted by Prabowo. The second photo shows Prabowo stroking Larry’s belly. In the uploaded photo, Larry looks lazy while staring out the window.

Prabowo is known as a cat lover and even brought his cat, Bobby Kertanegara, to live at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.

Larry’s journey in the British prime minister’s office began in 2011 when he was adopted from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home.

He was initially a pet for David Cameron’s (then British prime minister) children. However, over time, this grey-and-white striped cat became synonymous with Number 10.
