Prabowo Subianto, the President of the Republic of Indonesia, was warmly welcomed by Indonesian citizens upon his arrival at his hotel in St. Petersburg. The enthusiasm was evident as a large number of Indonesians, including students, migrant workers, and members of the diaspora, greeted him with cheers and requests for photos. Prabowo graciously interacted with the crowd, shaking hands, smiling, and engaging in friendly conversations. A highlight of the encounter was when three medical students from Papua studying in St. Petersburg expressed their joy at meeting the President in person for the first time. Likewise, a family from Solo, Indonesia, currently living in Russia, also had the chance to greet Prabowo, with one of their children even asking for Lego, much to the delight of everyone present. The exchange was filled with emotion and national pride, as Indonesian community members offered warm wishes and prayers to their President, displaying deep admiration and gratitude. There were also hopes expressed for the establishment of an Indonesian consulate in St. Petersburg, highlighting the strong bond between Indonesia and its citizens residing abroad.
