        "summary": "President Prabowo Subianto has claimed that Indonesia is on the verge of achieving self-sufficiency in fuel (BBM), eliminating the need for imports, a development he announced during a visit to Gorontalo. He emphasised the importance of managing Indonesia's rich natural resources domestically to prevent foreign control, extending this vision to sectors like fisheries and food production, where he asserted self-sufficiency in rice and corn has already boosted the nation's respect in ASEAN. This push for energy and food independence underscores Prabowo's agenda for national self-reliance, potentially transforming Indonesia's economic and geopolitical standing.",
        "content": "<p>President Prabowo Subianto has claimed that Indonesia will soon\nachieve self-sufficiency in fuel (BBM). If realised, Prabowo stated,\nIndonesia will no longer need to import fuel.<\/p>\n<p>He made this claim during a visit to Gorontalo on Saturday, 9 May\n2026. \u201cWe will soon achieve fuel self-sufficiency. We will not import\nfuel anymore, brothers and sisters,\u201d said Prabowo, as broadcast by the\nPresidential Secretariat.<\/p>\n<p>According to Prabowo, Indonesia is a rich nation. Therefore, the\nGerindra Party Chairman wants these riches to be well managed and\ncontrolled by Indonesians themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo stated that Indonesian leaders must not be lazy so that these\nriches are not taken over by foreigners. \u201cIf we are lazy, if the leaders\nare not honest or act arbitrarily, then our riches will be taken by\nother nations, brothers and sisters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This retired general conveyed that the natural resources in the\ncountry must be managed by Indonesians, including in the fisheries\nsector. \u201cWe want it to be our people who catch the fish in our seas, not\nforeign ships,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This former defence minister also claimed that Indonesia is now\nincreasingly respected in Southeast Asia. The reason, he said, is due to\nfood self-sufficiency such as rice and corn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe just came from the Philippines attending the ASEAN Summit. We are\nhighly respected because we are now self-sufficient in food,\u201d said\nPrabowo.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo gave examples of several types of food that he claimed have\nachieved self-sufficiency. Among them are self-sufficiency in rice and\ncorn. \u201cWe have achieved self-sufficiency in many things. We no longer\nneed to import food from abroad,\u201d said the Gerindra Party Chairman.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the Indonesian nation must stand on its own feet.\nTherefore, he wants his government to achieve food self-sufficiency and\nenergy self-sufficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Before going to Gorontalo, Prabowo first stopped at Miangas Island.\nPrabowo visited Miangas after attending the 48th ASEAN Summit in Cebu,\nPhilippines.<\/p>",
