Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia, received a heartfelt and enthusiastic welcome from Indonesian citizens upon his arrival at his hotel in St. Petersburg. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as dozens of Indonesians, including students, migrant workers, and members of the diaspora, greeted him with cheers and requests for photos. Prabowo took the time to shake hands, smile, and engage in friendly conversations with everyone present. A particularly touching moment was when three medical students from Papua studying in St. Petersburg expressed their joy at meeting the President in person for the first time. Additionally, a family from Solo, Indonesia, residing in Russia, had the chance to greet Prabowo, with one of their children even asking for Lego, bringing joy to all. The encounter was a display of national pride and emotion, as members of the Indonesian community offered warm wishes, prayers, and expressed deep admiration and gratitude towards their President. There were also discussions about the possibility of establishing an Indonesian consulate in St. Petersburg, highlighting the strong connection between Indonesia and its citizens living abroad.
