President Prabowo Subianto recently met with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta to discuss the new five-year business visa policy for Indonesians and enhanced educational cooperation. The extension of business visa validity and student visa offers from Australia is seen as a positive step towards strengthening ties between the two countries. This demonstrates a shared commitment to facilitating easier mobility for Indonesian students studying in Australia by reducing bureaucratic hurdles. President Prabowo highlighted the importance of continued collaboration, especially in uncertain global times, pointing out the benefits already realized in education, trade, technology, and security sectors. The strong partnership between Indonesia and Australia, supported by deep people-to-people connections, paves the way for further cooperation in areas crucial for human development and regional stability. President Prabowo’s remarks underscore Indonesia’s efforts to build a closer relationship with Australia, with education and mobility playing a significant role in this shared vision.
