President Prabowo Subianto recently highlighted Indonesia’s increasing international recognition, citing the growing number of invitations from foreign governments for the country to participate in their national celebrations. During the Indonesian Solidarity Party (PSI) Congress, Prabowo commended the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) for leading the military parade on France’s Bastille Day on July 14, 2025. This marked a significant milestone as it was the first time Indonesia had a prominent role in a European national celebration. The President expressed his pride in the discipline and performance of the Indonesian troops during the parade, emphasizing how their exemplary march showcased the country positively in the international arena. Prabowo also mentioned that after this groundbreaking event, several other nations have expressed interest in having Indonesia represented in their own national day celebrations, with countries like India, France, and Pakistan extending invitations. These developments underscore Indonesia’s growing diplomatic influence and the increasing respect it garners on a global scale, not only in political and economic contexts but also in ceremonial and cultural spheres.
