According to flight tracking monitors from Jakarta on Saturday, the presidential aircraft carrying President Prabowo touched down at approximately 9:58 a.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB) after departing Paris, France, on Friday, May 29, local time.
Upon his arrival at Halim Perdanakusuma, President Prabowo was greeted on the tarmac by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, and National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
On his flight back to Jakarta, the President was accompanied by a select delegation, including Foreign Minister Sugiono and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.

During his state visit to Paris, the President kicked off his official agenda by attending a welcome ceremony at Les Invalides, followed by a bilateral meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace.
President Prabowo then attended a state dinner hosted by Macron at the Élysée Palace's Salle des Fêtes. Over the course of the visit, he also performed the Eid al-Adha prayer alongside Indonesian citizens and the local diaspora at the Indonesian Embassy in Paris.
