Earlier, Prabowo and US President Joe Biden committed to ensuring that Palestinian independence is a part of the two-state solution to end the humanitarian conflict in Gaza.
The commitment was included in their joint statement published on the whitehouse.gov webpage on Tuesday.
"Both leaders remain committed to a viable and independent Palestinian state and Israel's security concerns as part of a two-state solution," the statement, which was accessed from here on Wednesday, said.
During the meeting, the two also pressed for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza followed by the release of hostages, prisoner exchange, smooth delivery of humanitarian aid, and an end to the conflict.
Prabowo and Biden expressed deep concern over the humanitarian situation in Gaza and condemned all attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure.
"The leaders emphasized that the future recovery and reconstruction of Gaza will depend on the continued engagement of the international community," the statement said.
Prabowo's visit to Washington D.C. is a part of his overseas tour agenda. He began his tour in Beijing, China, where he met with President Xi Jinping.
