Jakarta, Nov 19 Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto plans to send a team to Brazil to study the implementation of free meal programs for students.

"I have asked my team to arrange a meeting with Brazilian representatives. We will send a team to learn about the lunch program for children in Brazilian schools," the president said during the Indonesia-Brazil Business Forum held at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday local time, Xinhua news agency reported.
