Currency\nis now a weapon; exports and imports are now weapons; food is now a\nweapon; rice is a weapon,\u201d Prabowo said at the State Palace in Jakarta\non Wednesday (21 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo said politics is now based on strength, and that the strong\nare the ones who will survive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can see what is happening in the Middle East and elsewhere. Those\nwho are not strong will be wiped out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo stressed that the political principle to uphold is national\nunity. He said this had been advocated for a long time, including by\nPresident Soekarno.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat our first president, Bung Karno, advocated was once mocked, but\nthere was a common thread: his conviction and efforts to always preserve\nnational unity,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
