According to a statement from the Vice\nPresidential Secretariat received in Jakarta on Thursday, the Vice\nPresident, while opening Tanwir II Muhammadiyah Youth Congress Year 2026\nin Badung, Bali today, said the global situation is dynamic and requires\nintergenerational collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is a moment full of dynamism; this is a global crisis, an\nunpredictable geopolitics, trade wars, tariff wars, climate change,\ntechnology disruption, this is the time for young people, for youths to\nunite,\u2019 said Gibran.<\/p>\n<p>The message aligns with President Prabowo Subianto\u2019s directive\nemphasising youth involvement in strengthening human resources, reducing\neducational and health disparities, and developing regional potential to\nmeet global challenges and realise an advanced Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The government cannot do it alone, especially since we will have a\ndemographic dividend, where a large portion of our population is of\nproductive age,\u2019 he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, he emphasised the importance of optimally leveraging the\ndemographic dividend to increase productivity and the competitiveness of\nIndonesia\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And this is a very important, very crucial moment, because this\nmoment comes only once and will not recur. Therefore, I reiterate: young\npeople must join hands,\u2019 the Vice President said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, youth involvement is essential to support\neducational equity, health, and digital transformation in remote\nareas.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice President has visited various regions in Papua several times\nto ensure government programmes reach communities in remote areas.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If possible, perhaps on the next visit we can invite Muhammadiyah\nYouth to Papua so they can see the real conditions and understand the\nchallenges there. Because Muhammadiyah Youth surely focuses on health\nand education issues,\u2019 the Vice President said.<\/p>\n<p>On that occasion, the Vice President also expressed appreciation to\nMuhammadiyah Youth for consistently producing outstanding and ethical\nyoung cadres who are now contributing in various strategic national\nsectors.<\/p>",
