He said he had received credentials from 17 ambassadors and that geopolitical turmoil makes Indonesia need to stay engaged.
The palace began receiving credentials on June 8 after waits of up to eight months, a delay criticized by a senior diplomat.
The dispute now also covers hotel bills for the delegation in France and which budget paid for the trip.
The Jakarta Palace ceremony will coincide with the swearing-in of the National Nutrition Agency chief and two deputies, held separately.
Prabowo’s camp says his France visit yielded about US$3.5 billion in commercial deals and cut the entourage by nearly 50 percent.
