Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto will attend the first leaders’ meeting of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace in the United States on February 19, the country’s foreign ministry says.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Vahd Nabyl Achmad Mulachela says Prabowo will use the Board of Peace to fight for the protection of Palestinians, promote the recovery of Gaza, and push for a sustainable peace based on the two-state solution, which would see a Palestinian state established alongside Israel.
Earlier this week, Indonesia’s military chief said the country is preparing for the potential deployment of 5,000 to 8,000 troops to Gaza under Trump’s peace plan.
Prabowo is also expected to sign a tariff deal with the US during his trip, the government has said.
