TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto visited London, England, earlier this week. Before arriving in the Kingdom of King Charles, Prabowo had just completed a series of visits to the United States, meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington D.C.
According to a statement from the Presidential Secretariat, Prabowo arrived in London on Monday, February 23, 2026, local time. The Chairman of the Gerindra Party witnessed the signing of a framework agreement between the Danantara Investment Management Agency and Arm Limited, a British semiconductor company, in the British capital.
"The Head of State specifically witnessed the signing as a demonstration of the government's strong commitment to the prospects for technological advancement and innovation-based economic transformation in Indonesia," the Presidential Secretariat stated in a statement on Tuesday, February 24, 2026.
The agreement between Danantara and Arm Limited includes chip design technology training for 15,000 Indonesian engineers. The collaboration is expected to develop the national technology industry.

These officials also accompanied Prabowo on his previous visit to the United States.
This visit marks Prabowo's second visit to the UK earlier this year. Previously, the Head of State visited London from January 18-21, 2026.
At that time, Prabowo met with King Charles III of England, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and leaders of top British universities. Prabowo also agreed to several collaborations with the British government and companies during the visit.
According to the Cabinet Secretariat, Prabowo agreed to an investment of £4 billion (approximately Rp 90 trillion) from the UK. Together with British companies, Indonesia is collaborating to build 1,582 fishing vessels to be manufactured domestically, employing up to 600,000 people.
