        "content": "<p>A warm moment between President Prabowo Subianto, Indonesia\u2019s 7th\nPresident Joko Widodo (Jokowi), and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming\nRaka occurred during the 81st Indonesian Independence Day ceremony at\nthe State Palace in Jakarta. Prabowo sat between Jokowi and Gibran.<\/p>\n<p>The moment took place after Prabowo finished leading the 81st\nIndonesian Independence Day ceremony at the Palace on Monday\n(17\/8\/2026). After leading the ceremony, Prabowo took his seat.<\/p>\n<p>Gibran appeared to be wearing traditional attire from East Nusa\nTenggara (NTT), while Jokowi wore traditional Balinese attire.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo\u2019s seat was positioned exactly in the middle. To Prabowo\u2019s\nright was Jokowi\u2019s seat, and to his left was Gibran Rakabuming.<\/p>\n<p>The three were seen chatting together. Prabowo, Jokowi, and Gibran\nalso appeared to laugh together.<\/p>\n<p>The three then watched a fighter jet demonstration together.\nOccasionally, the three applauded.<\/p>\n<p>State Secretary Minister Prasetyo Hadi responded to Prabowo\u2019s seating\nposition, flanked by Jokowi and Gibran. Pras said that Prabowo and\nJokowi have long been friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is indeed how it should be. He and President Jokowi have always\nbeen close, and on social media people sometimes call them besties,\u201d\nPras said at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Monday (17\/8).<\/p>\n<p>Pras assessed that Prabowo being flanked by Jokowi and Gibran was not\ndeliberate. This was because two previous Indonesian presidents were\nunable to attend the Palace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt happened that among the former presidents who were able to attend\nwere Mr Joko Widodo, while Mrs Megawati and Mr SBY were unable to\nattend. The President, as usual, showed respect, so the seating\narrangement, especially when watching the aerial demonstration and\ncultural performances, was also adjusted so that some were moved to the\nfront,\u201d Pras said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe adapted to the situation, but due to limited space, not everyone\ncould be at the front. However, this does not diminish our respect as\nthe organising committee,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
