High level visits
Because of its oil and natural gas resources, Qatar is among the world's richest countries. Indonesian president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, paid a state visit in 2006 to Doha, to attract Qatari businesses to invest in Indonesia, while Qatar's emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, visited Jakarta in 2009. During the Bali Democracy Forum IV in December 2011, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani met with Yudhoyono once again.
In April 2025, Indonesian president Prabowo Subianto made a state visit to Qatar. He and Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani witnessed the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of Strategic Dialogue between the governments of the two nations. The purpose of the MoU is to promote closer collaboration in a number of strategic areas.

Why this record matters

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q17055025. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2006, 2009 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
