He discussed this at a bilateral meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and announced the decision in a joint press statement at Bogor Presidential Palace, West Java, on Wednesday.
"We are committed to increasing trade with mutual benefit for both countries, also accelerating the finalization of the CEPA agreement. We have agreed to expand market access for products from both countries," Prabowo said.
The partnership between Indonesia and Turkiye prioritizes the prosperity of the people of both countries and a better world order to support global peace and stability, he added.
During Erdogan's state visit to Indonesia, the two leaders also joined the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council meeting.
According to Prabowo, the bilateral meeting and the HLSCC meeting are a manifestation of the strong and solid partnership between Indonesia and Turkiye.
"On Wednesday, we also have the first High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council Meeting. Once again, thank you. Indonesia does not have many regular bilateral mechanisms at the head of state level," he said.
