MPR submits PPHN draft to Prabowo

“On this occasion, we submitted the concept to the President of the Republic of Indonesia and discussed with him several matters relating to the State Policy Outline (Pokok-Pokok Haluan Negara or PPHN).”

Jakarta (ANTARA) — Chairman of the MPR RI, Ahmad Muzani, said the MPR leadership had submitted the draft of the State Policy Outline (PPHN) to President Prabowo Subianto during a meeting at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta on Monday.

Muzani said the submission of the PPHN draft was one of the main agendas of the intensive meeting with President Prabowo.

“On this occasion, we submitted the concept to the President of the Republic of Indonesia and discussed with him several matters relating to the State Policy Outline,” he said at a press briefing at the Presidential Office.

According to Muzani, President Prabowo in principle supports the PPHN becoming a national development guideline that applies across administrations, not just for a single leadership period.

“The President in principle has left it to the People’s Consultative Assembly to make the State Policy Outline a guideline that applies across administrations,” he said.

The draft will subsequently be deliberated through the MPR’s mechanisms before being adopted as a cross-administration national development guideline.

He expressed hope that deliberation of the PPHN would produce a sustainable direction for national development and serve as a long-term reference for the conduct of government.
