TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto has invited the President of Brazil, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, to celebrate his birthday in Indonesia in October 2025. Prabowo said he has visited Brazil twice in his capacity as the Indonesian President.
The first visit was in November 2024 when he attended the G-20 Summit. The second visit was in July 2025 when he attended the first BRICS Summit since Indonesia became a full member. "I look forward to President Lula visiting Indonesia this year," said Prabowo when meeting President Lula in Brasilia on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
Prabowo said that Lula could visit Indonesia in October 2025, as it is the month of both Lula's and Prabowo's birthdays. "Because we have birthdays that are close together.

Lula himself was born in Garanhuns, Pernambuco, Brazil, on October 27, 1945. Meanwhile, Prabowo was born in Jakarta on October 17, 1951.
