The welcoming ceremony was carefully planned, with over 1,000 troops involved in the procession. Additionally, local schoolchildren were invited to witness the event, making it a community celebration. The horsemen in the ceremony represented the long-standing friendship between Indonesia and Turkey, with the number 75 symbolizing the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.

President Erdogan’s visit was brief, and he was expected to return to Turkey later in the day. While the details of his departure were not fully disclosed, it was not confirmed whether President Prabowo would accompany him to the airport, as was the case during Erdogan’s arrival the previous day.
