President Prabowo paid a brief 8-hour visit to China on September 3, 2025, with the main itinerary including attending the 80th anniversary military parade of China's victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan. He was invited to attend the parade at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, watching alongside Chinese leaders, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other leaders. The parade showcased 10,000 PLA troops, over 100 military aircraft, and hundreds of ground equipment pieces.
Bilateral talks with Chinese leaders were held at the Great Hall of the People, focusing on discussions about Indonesia's apology for its absence from the SCO summit; cooperation on the "Giant Sea Wall" infrastructure project on the north coast of Java; and the deepening of strategic partnership to commemorate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. He also held a separate meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, focusing on economic, trade, and investment cooperation. Putin and Prabowo greeted each other with a hug. The Indonesian Cabinet Secretariat stated that both sides confirmed strengthening existing cooperation projects in energy, infrastructure, and other fields.
The visit, originally scheduled for August 31 to September 1, was once canceled due to domestic protests in Indonesia. After assessing the stable situation on September 2, Prabowo departed that evening and returned to Jakarta at 20:45 the next day. This visit was Prabowo's first working trip to China since taking office, highlighting Indonesia's strategic positioning in major-power balanced diplomacy.
