Defence Minister says P3MD programme is right for creating quality human resources

Jakarta (ANTARA) – Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin has said that the Presidential Programme for Future Leaders (P3MD) is the right programme for shaping high-quality human resources.

Sjafrie made the remarks on his Instagram account, @sjafrie.sjamsoeddin, when posting a photograph of himself giving instructions to P3MD Batch 1 at the TNI Education and Training Command (Kodiklat) in Serpong on Monday.

“This programme is an important part of preparing a future generation of leaders with character, integrity and national insight,” Sjafrie wrote on his Instagram account.

According to Sjafrie, P3MD participants must possess strong integrity and national awareness so that they are able to work professionally in building the nation.

Beyond that, Sjafrie also asked them to equip themselves with advanced knowledge so that in future they can lead the nation in answering various challenges ahead.

“This programme also aims to prepare the younger generation to have strategic capabilities in facing increasingly complex global dynamics and challenges,” Sjafrie said.

He therefore hopes that the P3MD participants can make the most of this opportunity to develop their own potential, so that they may eventually become quality future leaders of the nation.

It is worth noting that P3MD is an educational programme attended by professionals from state-owned enterprises (BUMN).

At present, the first P3MD batch numbers 400 participants. They are undergoing nine months of education in self-development, national awareness and governmental management systems, having begun on 20 May 2026 at the TNI Kodiklat.
