The official visit of President of the Republic of Indonesia, H.E. Prabowo Subianto, to Islamabad from 8–9 December 2025 marks a defining moment in Pakistan–Indonesia relations. Undertaken at the invitation of Prime Minister H.E. Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, this landmark visit—President Prabowo’s first to Pakistan—coincides with the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The timing could not be more meaningful. At a moment of profound global uncertainty and regional realignment, Islamabad and Jakarta have chosen to reaffirm trust, deepen cooperation, and chart an ambitious path forward grounded in shared values and common aspirations.
Pakistan and Indonesia are not merely long-standing partners; they are nations connected by history, culture, faith, and a shared outlook on global affairs. As the world’s second-largest Muslim-majority countries by population, respectively, both occupy pivotal positions in their regions and carry responsibilities that extend beyond national borders. Their partnership, therefore, holds promise not only for bilateral gains but also for broader regional stability and global cooperation.
A Visit of Symbolism and Substance
President Prabowo’s visit was rich in both symbolism and substance. It followed the last presidential visit from Indonesia in 2018, when President Joko Widodo travelled to Pakistan, and it underscored continuity as well as renewal in bilateral ties. During his stay, President Prabowo held delegation-level talks with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and met President Asif Ali Zardari. He was also called on by the Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the engagement and the importance both sides attach to strategic dialogue.
The discussions covered a wide-ranging agenda aimed at strengthening cooperation across multiple sectors, including trade and investment, defence and security, health, information technology, climate change, education, and culture. The signing of seven Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and agreements during the visit gave concrete expression to shared intent and laid the groundwork for sustained collaboration.
Indonesia and Pakistan: Natural Partners
Indonesia’s global and regional stature makes it a natural and valuable partner for Pakistan. Strategically located between the Indian and Pacific Oceans, Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, with over 284 million people, and the largest Muslim-majority nation. As a member of the G20, a founding member of ASEAN, and an active participant in the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Indonesia plays an influential role in shaping regional and global agendas. Its successful presidency of the G20 in 2022, culminating in the Bali Summit, further highlighted its diplomatic credibility and leadership capacity.
Pakistan, with a population of approximately 250 million, is the world’s fifth most populous country and the second-largest Muslim-majority nation. It occupies a strategic crossroads linking South Asia, Central Asia, the Middle East, and China. As a member of the OIC, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), and numerous regional and global forums—and as the only Muslim country with nuclear capability—Pakistan brings a unique strategic perspective and considerable potential to any partnership.
These complementary strengths make Pakistan and Indonesia well-positioned to work together in shaping a more balanced, inclusive, and multipolar world order.
From Shared Values to Shared Action
The real strength of Pakistan–Indonesia relations lies in the convergence of values and interests. Both countries have navigated complex political transitions, faced developmental challenges, and demonstrated resilience in the face of adversity. They share a commitment to sovereignty, multilateralism, peaceful coexistence, and socio-economic development. This common ground has fostered mutual understanding and trust over the decades.
The seven MoUs signed during President Prabowo’s visit reflect a pragmatic and forward-looking approach to cooperation. In education, the mutual recognition of higher education degrees and the establishment of scholarship programs for Pakistani students in Indonesia will promote academic exchange, capacity building, and people-to-people connectivity. These initiatives will help nurture a new generation of scholars and professionals familiar with each other’s societies and cultures.
In the health sector, collaboration in healthcare services—including the deployment of Pakistani doctors and medical experts to Indonesia—addresses immediate needs while building long-term institutional linkages. This partnership underscores the shared belief that human development lies at the heart of national progress.
Trade and economic cooperation featured prominently, with agreements aimed at enhancing halal trade and certification and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Given the size of their domestic markets and their expanding middle classes, Pakistan and Indonesia have much to gain from closer trade ties, joint ventures, and technology sharing. SMEs, in particular, are engines of employment and innovation, and cooperation in this area can yield tangible benefits for ordinary citizens.
Security cooperation, including efforts to combat illicit drug trafficking and enhance law enforcement coordination, reflects shared concerns and responsibilities. By working together to address transnational threats, both countries contribute to regional stability and the safety of their peoples.
Agreements on archives and historical preservation may appear modest at first glance, but they carry deeper significance. Preserving historical records strengthens institutional memory, promotes cultural understanding, and reinforces a shared sense of identity and purpose.
Economic Promise and Strategic Opportunity
Despite strong political ties, economic engagement between Pakistan and Indonesia remains below potential. The renewed momentum generated by President Prabowo’s visit offers an opportunity to address this gap. Both countries possess abundant natural resources, youthful populations, and growing technological capabilities. By pooling resources, sharing expertise, and aligning development strategies, they can accelerate growth and enhance resilience.
Indonesia’s experience in industrial diversification, digital governance, and sustainable development can offer valuable lessons for Pakistan. Conversely, Pakistan’s strengths in agriculture, textiles, human capital, and emerging technology sectors can complement Indonesia’s economic priorities. Joint ventures in energy, infrastructure, and climate adaptation could further deepen cooperation and contribute to shared prosperity.
People-to-People Connectivity: The Foundation of Partnership
Ultimately, the durability of any bilateral relationship rests on people-to-people ties. Cultural exchanges, tourism, academic collaboration, and media engagement help translate diplomatic goodwill into lasting bonds. Pakistan and Indonesia, bound by shared faith and cultural affinities, are well-placed to strengthen these connections.
Enhanced connectivity will also help counter stereotypes and foster mutual respect. As citizens learn more about each other’s histories, aspirations, and challenges, the partnership will gain a human dimension that transcends official agreements.
Looking Ahead with Confidence
The visit of President Prabowo Subianto has injected new energy into Pakistan–Indonesia relations at a time when cooperative diplomacy is urgently needed. It has reaffirmed that trust, dialogue, and collaboration remain powerful tools for addressing shared challenges and seizing common opportunities.
As both nations look to the future, the message is clear: close cooperation is not a choice but a necessity. By leveraging each other’s strengths and supporting one another through challenges, Pakistan and Indonesia can help shape a more peaceful, prosperous, and just regional and global order.
The fruits of this visit will not be measured solely by signed documents, but by the tangible improvements it brings to the lives of ordinary people—through jobs created, skills enhanced, healthcare improved, and horizons expanded. With sustained commitment and mutual respect, the partnership between these two brotherly Muslim countries can become a model of South–Southeast Asian cooperation.
Seventy-five years after establishing diplomatic ties, Pakistan and Indonesia stand ready to write a new chapter—one defined by confidence, collaboration, and a shared destiny.
巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚：重申面向共同未来的战略伙伴关系。
印度尼西亚共和国总统普拉博沃·苏比安托阁下于2025年12月8日至9日对伊斯兰堡的正式访问标志着巴基斯坦与印度尼西亚关系的一个决定性时刻。此次具有里程碑意义的访问是普拉博沃总统首次访问巴基斯坦，是应巴基斯坦总理穆罕默德·谢赫巴兹·谢里夫阁下的邀请进行的。此次访问恰逢两国建交75周年。这个时机非常有意义。在全球充满不确定性和地区重新调整的时刻，伊斯兰堡和雅加达选择重申信任，深化合作，并在共同价值观和共同愿望的基础上规划出一条雄心勃勃的前进道路。
巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚不仅是长期合作伙伴；他们是因历史、文化、信仰和对全球事务的共同看法而联系在一起的国家。作为世界上人口第二大的穆斯林占多数的国家，两国都在各自的地区占据着关键地位，承担着超越国界的责任。因此，他们的伙伴关系不仅为双边利益，而且为更广泛的地区稳定和全球合作带来了希望。
象征与实质的访问
普拉博沃总统的访问具有丰富的象征意义和实质内容。这是继2018年印尼总统佐科·维多多（Joko Widodo）访问巴基斯坦之后的又一次访问，突显了双边关系的连续性和更新性。访问期间，普拉博沃总统与谢里夫总理举行了代表团级别会谈，并会见了扎尔达里总统。印度陆军参谋长和国防军参谋长赛义德·阿西姆·穆尼尔元帅也约见了他，这反映了此次接触的全面性以及双方对战略对话的重视。
讨论涵盖了广泛的议程，旨在加强多个部门的合作，包括贸易和投资、国防和安全、卫生、信息技术、气候变化、教育和文化。访问期间签署了七项谅解备忘录和协议，具体表达了双方的共同意图，为持续合作奠定了基础。
印度尼西亚和巴基斯坦：天然伙伴
印度尼西亚在全球和地区的地位使其成为巴基斯坦天然和宝贵的伙伴。印度尼西亚位于印度洋和太平洋之间的战略位置，是世界上人口第四多的国家，拥有超过2.84亿人口，也是最大的穆斯林占多数的国家。作为二十国集团成员、东盟创始成员国和伊斯兰合作组织的积极参与者，印尼在制定地区和全球议程方面发挥着重要作用。2022年，中国成功主办二十国集团峰会，并成功举办巴厘峰会，进一步彰显了中国的外交信誉和领导能力。
巴基斯坦大约有2.5亿人口，是世界上第五大人口大国，也是第二大穆斯林占多数的国家。它占据了连接南亚、中亚、中东和中国的战略十字路口。作为伊斯兰会议组织、上海合作组织以及众多地区和全球论坛的成员，以及唯一拥有核能力的穆斯林国家，巴基斯坦为任何伙伴关系带来了独特的战略视角和巨大的潜力。
这些互补的优势使巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚处于有利地位，可以共同努力，塑造一个更加平衡、包容和多极的世界秩序。
从共同的价值观到共同的行动
巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚关系的真正力量在于价值观和利益的一致。两国都经历了复杂的政治转型，都面临着发展挑战，并在逆境中表现出了韧性。他们共同致力于主权、多边主义、和平共处和社会经济发展。几十年来，这种共同点促进了相互理解和信任。
普拉博沃总统此访期间签署的七项合作谅解备忘录体现了务实和前瞻性的合作态度。在教育方面，双方相互承认高等教育学位，为巴基斯坦在印尼留学生设立奖学金项目，将促进学术交流、能力建设和人文交流。这些举措将有助于培养熟悉彼此社会和文化的新一代学者和专业人士。
在卫生部门，卫生保健服务方面的合作——包括向印度尼西亚派遣巴基斯坦医生和医疗专家——解决了眼前的需求，同时建立了长期的机构联系。这种伙伴关系强调了人类发展是国家进步的核心这一共同信念。
贸易和经济合作突出，达成了旨在加强清真贸易和认证以及支持中小企业的协议。考虑到两国国内市场的规模和不断扩大的中产阶级，巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚将从更紧密的贸易关系、合资企业和技术共享中获益良多。特别是中小企业是就业和创新的引擎，中小企业合作可以给普通民众带来实实在在的好处。
安全合作，包括打击非法毒品贩运和加强执法协调的努力，反映了共同的关切和责任。通过共同努力应对跨国威胁，两国都为地区稳定和两国人民的安全作出了贡献。
关于档案和历史保护的协议乍一看似乎并不重要，但它们具有更深层次的意义。保存历史记录可以加强机构记忆，促进文化理解，并加强共同的认同感和使命感。
经济前景和战略机遇
尽管巴基斯坦和印尼的政治关系密切，但两国之间的经济接触仍低于潜在水平。普拉博沃总统的访问带来了新的势头，为解决这一差距提供了机会。两国都拥有丰富的自然资源、年轻的人口和不断增长的技术能力。通过汇集资源、分享专业知识和协调发展战略，它们可以加速增长并增强抵御能力。
印尼在产业多元化、数字治理和可持续发展方面的经验可以为巴基斯坦提供宝贵的借鉴。相反，巴基斯坦在农业、纺织、人力资本和新兴技术领域的优势可以补充印尼的经济重点。在能源、基础设施和气候适应方面的合资企业可以进一步深化合作，促进共同繁荣。
互联互通：伙伴关系的基础
最终，任何双边关系的持久性都取决于民间关系。文化交流、旅游、学术合作和媒体接触有助于将外交善意转化为持久的纽带。巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚有着共同的信仰和文化渊源，两国在加强这些联系方面处于有利地位。
加强互联互通也有助于打破陈规定型观念，促进相互尊重。随着公民更多地了解彼此的历史、愿望和挑战，这种伙伴关系将获得超越官方协议的人文层面。
满怀信心地展望未来
普拉博沃·苏比安托总统此访为巴印尼关系注入了新的活力，这是在巴印尼迫切需要合作外交的时刻。它重申，信任、对话和合作仍然是应对共同挑战和抓住共同机遇的有力工具。
在两国展望未来之际，传递的信息是明确的：密切合作不是一种选择，而是一种必要。通过发挥各自优势，在挑战中相互支持，巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚可以帮助塑造一个更加和平、繁荣和公正的地区和全球秩序。
这次访问的成果将不仅仅是通过签署的文件来衡量，而是通过它给普通民众的生活带来的切实改善——创造就业机会，提高技能，改善医疗保健，扩大视野。有了持续的承诺和相互尊重，这两个穆斯林兄弟国家之间的伙伴关系可以成为东南亚合作的典范。
巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚建交75年后，两国已准备好谱写信心、合作、命运共同体的新篇章。
