A preliminary rehearsal is scheduled to take place today and tomorrow, before concluding with a full dress rehearsal on Thursday (13/8).

“Alhamdulillah, for the preparations for the MPR Annual Session and the Joint DPR-DPD Session, as well as the DPR RI Plenary Meeting on 14 August, we from the three secretariats-general continue to coordinate. Tomorrow a preliminary rehearsal will be held, and on the 13th a full dress rehearsal will take place,” said Suprihartini at the DPR RI Building in Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday (11/8).

Given that the agenda falls on a Friday, Suprihartini confirmed that the entire joint session programme has been designed to conclude before Friday prayers. Based on cross-institutional protocol agreements, the main agenda is targeted to be completed before 11.00 WIB.

“That is correct (finishing before Friday prayers). The Head of the DPD Protocol Bureau has also conveyed that the agreed finish time is around 10.47 WIB. Hopefully it will proceed according to schedule,” she said.

To ensure the smooth running of the event, the joint secretariat has held technical coordination meetings with ministries and agencies as well as security personnel from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the Indonesian National Police (Polri).

Regarding the attendance of Very Very Important Person (VVIP) guests, including former presidents and vice presidents, the secretariat is still compiling the list of attendance confirmations through coordination with the protocol teams of relevant ministries and agencies.

“We are also coordinating with all ministry and agency protocol teams to confirm the attendance of invited guests before the day of the event, including arrangements for arrival times and seating positions,” concluded Suprihartini.
