A ‘CAUTIOUS’ Macron arrives in Indonesia with no ‘SLAP’ drama of Vietnam

French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Indonesia with First Lady Brigitte following the viral ‘slap-gate’ moment in Vietnam, which he downplayed as playful “horsing around.” The visit marks the 75th anniversary of France-Indonesia diplomatic ties. Macron was welcomed with a grand military parade and met President Prabowo Subianto to discuss deepening cooperation in defense, energy, and digitization. Talks reportedly include Indonesia’s interest in procuring French-made Rafale fighter jets and Scorpene submarines as strategic ties between the two nations grow stronger. #Macron #FranceIndonesia #MacronVisit #SlapGate #BrigitteMacron #Indonesia75Years #RafaleJets #ScorpeneSubmarines #Prabowo #DiplomaticRelations #DefenseDeals #MacronInAsia #GrandWelcome #BilateralTalks #Geopolitics #MacronTour #MacronIndonesiaVisit #FranceAsia #DefenseCooperation #EnergyPartnership #DigitalTransformation #FranceIndonesiaTies #MacronControversy #GlobalPolitics #SoutheastAsiaVisit Also Read Macron Dismisses ‘Slapgate’ Claims After Video With Wife Goes Viral: 'Has Become A Geo-Planetary Catastrophe' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/macron-dismisses-slapgate-claims-after-video-with-wife-goes-viral-has-become-a-geo-planetary-cat-4164789.html?ref=DMDesc French President Emmanuel Macron Declares Haiti's Independence Indemnity as Historic Injustice :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-president-haiti-independence-indemnity-injustice-011-4127059.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Clamps Down On Media As Istanbul Mayor Imamoglu’s Jailing Sparks Decade’s Biggest Protests :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-clamps-down-on-media-as-istanbul-mayor-imamoglu-s-jailing-sparks-decade-s-biggest-protests-4107483.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Indonesia Quarry Collapse: Limestone Quarry Collapse Kills At Least 13, Dozens Trapped | West Java

A limestone quarry in Indonesia’s West Java province collapsed on Friday, killing at least 13 people and injuring a dozen others. Authorities fear more may still be buried under the rubble. The rescue mission, involving excavators and volunteers, was halted due to unstable soil and will resume Saturday. Governor Dedi Mulyadi ordered the permanent closure of this and four similar unsafe mining sites. This is the quarry’s second collapse this year, highlighting growing concerns over mining safety in the Southeast Asian archipelago. #Indonesia #QuarryCollapse #WestJava #MiningDisaster #LimestoneMine #RescueEfforts #MiningAccident #Cirebon #FatalCollapse #BreakingNews #DisasterResponse #IllegalMining #JavaMineCollapse #TrappedMiners #MiningSafety #SouthEastAsia #MineRescue #MiningTragedy #EnvironmentalHazard #UnlicensedMines ~ED.420~HT.336~GR.124~
