Prabowo Entrusts Future to IPDN Graduates

President Prabowo Subianto has said that the young civil administrators of IPDN’s 33rd cohort, graduating in 2026, will be the generation that takes up the baton of government as Indonesia enters the era of a developed nation. He therefore asked the graduates to prepare themselves to continue the development currently under way.

He made the remarks in his speech at the Inauguration Ceremony of the 33rd Cohort of IPDN Young Civil Administrators for 2026, held at the IPDN campus in Jatinangor, Sumedang Regency, West Java, on Wednesday (29/7). Prabowo said the current government is working to open the way for the succeeding generation to lead Indonesia in the future.

“Twenty-five years from now, it will be you who will actually run the government. Some of you will become governors. Perhaps some of you will stand at this very podium. The future belongs to all of you,” he said.

According to Prabowo, Indonesia’s aspiration is not merely to become a country with a large economy, but also to ensure that all its people live prosperously, earn a decent income, and have access to education, healthcare services and proper housing.

He expressed optimism that this goal is drawing near. “That great aspiration is on the brink of success. Experts around the all predict that in 25 years Indonesia will be the world’s fourth-largest economy, ahead of France, Germany and the United Kingdom,” the Head of State said.

To that end, Prabowo asked the newly inaugurated generation of young civil administrators to carry on that struggle well.

“We here are working and serving to open the way for all of you. You are our children, whom we are preparing to safeguard this republic after we are gone,” he concluded.
