\u201cBy the latest count, we have resolved 108 problems in just over a\nyear of our government. This is no small achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto opened a Plenary\nCabinet Session at the State Palace in Jakarta on Monday, attended by\nVice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, all ministers of the Red and\nWhite Cabinet, the President\u2019s Special Envoys, and the heads of high\nstate institutions.<\/p>\n
In his address, President Prabowo said the cabinet session was\ndeliberately held mid-year to welcome the 17 August celebrations and as\nthe government approaches its two-year mark.<\/p>\n
According to him, an evaluation is necessary to see how many\nprogrammes have been achieved and what needs to be improved in order to\naccelerate policies that are still pending.<\/p>\n
President Prabowo said that during nearly two years in office the\ngovernment has faced many major challenges, particularly amid a\nturbulent global situation.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, he urged the entire Red and White Cabinet not to be\ndaunted by the nation\u2019s problems and to focus on resolving them.<\/p>\n
President Prabowo stressed that the government does not intend to\nlook for faults or compare its performance with the previous\nadministration. According to him, every government faces challenges\nparticular to its own time.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, President Prabowo said all ministers and agency leaders\nare elements of the nation\u2019s leadership who have been given a mandate to\nconfront and resolve various national problems.<\/p>\n
He said the government understands that teachers\u2019 welfare remains\nlow, job opportunities are limited, extreme poverty still exists, and\neconomic inequality persists in society. According to President Prabowo,\nthese problems are precisely the reason the government was elected to\nresolve them.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, President Prabowo acknowledged that a number of\nproblems facing the government turned out to be far greater than\nanticipated. He highlighted distortions in the national economy caused\nby unhealthy trading practices.<\/p>\n
For this reason, President Prabowo asserted that the government has a\nmandate to stop these leakages in order to protect the national\ninterest.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the latest count, we have resolved 108 problems in just over a\nyear of our government. This is no small achievement,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Even so, the President reminded the entire cabinet not to be\ncomplacent or arrogant about these achievements.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do not want to pat ourselves on the back, we do not want to and\nmust not get big-headed or arrogant. That is not our character \u2014 do not\nbe presumptuous. But if we have achieved something, we must acknowledge\nit,\u201d President Prabowo said.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, President Prabowo highlighted the importance of\nfood security as the primary measure of a nation\u2019s success. According to\nhim, the ability to meet the people\u2019s food needs is the fundamental\nfoundation of a civilisation.<\/p>\n
He said food security must be supported by water availability,\nfertile land, affordable fertiliser, and appropriate policies so that\nthe public has access to food and children receive nutritious meals.<\/p>\n
President Prabowo also touched on the Free Nutritious Meals\nprogramme, interactive digital panels in schools, energy issues,\ninvestment, village cooperatives, and housing for the people.<\/p>\n
All the matters discussed in the plenary cabinet session will also be\npresented in a report to the entire Indonesian people on the\ngovernment\u2019s performance over the past year, to be delivered before 17\nAugust 2026.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prabowo-cabinet-meeting-evaluates-performance-ahead-of-governments-second-year-1784544988", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
