During his visit to Paris, France, Indonesian Defense Minister and president-elect Prabowo Subianto had a memorable moment at a pencak silat exhibition on Saturday (27/07).
Prabowo had the chance to meet Indonesian badminton legend Greysia Polii during the event. He appeared delighted as he chatted with Greysia, who was accompanied by her husband, Felix Djimin, and their daughter, Jessia Selah Djimin.
As Prabowo interacted with Jessia, he asked her name while holding her hand, and Greysia and Felix proudly introduced their daughter, who is under two years old.
The meeting ended with a friendly photo session, with Greysia asking for permission to take a photo, to which Prabowo enthusiastically agreed.
The exhibition also featured a pencak silat demonstration as part of the efforts to promote this traditional Indonesian martial art globally.
As the Chairman of the Indonesian Pencak Silat Association (PB IPSI) for the 2021-2025 term, Prabowo is committed to pushing for pencak silat to be included as an Olympic sport.
