The summit, organized by the UN as part of the General Assembly, will take place from 15:00 to 18:00 local time.
The conference will open with remarks from UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
President Prabowo is scheduled to be the fifth head of state to deliver a statement at the forum, following leaders from Jordan, Turkiye, Brazil, and Portugal.
Hari Prabowo, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Indonesia (PTRI) in New York, said the session on Palestine at the General Assembly aims to encourage more countries to recognize the State of Palestine.
"The aim of the High-Level Conference on the Two-State Solution is to encourage as many countries as possible to recognize the State of Palestine," Hari Prabowo said at a media briefing at Indonesia’s Permanent Mission in New York on Saturday (9/20).
"In this way, it will increase Palestine's leverage in the peace negotiation process," he added.
He explained that the summit, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, seeks to place Palestine on equal footing with Israel at the international level, thereby fostering peace in the region and justice for the Palestinian people.
Indonesia’s commitment to realizing a two-state solution, he continued, is demonstrated through its role as part of the core group promoting recognition of Palestinian statehood.
"The main initiators are France and Saudi Arabia, but there is a core group, and Indonesia is one of 19 members. These 19 have made various efforts to mobilize as many countries as possible that might want to recognize the State of Palestine," he said.
Hari Prabowo also expressed optimism that more countries would formally recognize Palestine ahead of the conference.
Several states have recently announced plans to recognize Palestine, including France, Portugal, and Malta.
On Friday (9/12), the UN General Assembly adopted a draft resolution endorsing the New York Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution.
The resolution passed with 142 countries voting in favor, 10 against, and 12 abstaining.
