President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, recently had a dinner gathering with his predecessor, Joko Widodo (Jokowi), at Bakmi Jowo Bu Citro 1 in Solo, Central Java. During this meeting, Prabowo and Jokowi were seated together, accompanied by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming and the Head of the Agency for Development Control and Special Investigation (BAPPISUS), Aris Marsudiyanto.
The gathering saw Prabowo and Jokowi enjoying bowls of noodle soup while engaging in a brief one-on-one conversation before the meal. The private dinner lasted approximately an hour and also included several ministers from the Red-and-White Cabinet, such as Cabinet Secretary Lt. Col. Teddy Indra Wijaya, Foreign Minister Sugiono, and State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi.
