Prabowo Expresses Gratitude in Miangas, Pledges to Maintain Airport Inaugurated by Jokowi

Thank you for receiving me. I came to see the conditions on Miangas Island, Indonesia’s northernmost outermost island. I just came from the Philippines, and it turns out it’s quite close to the Philippines,” said Prabowo in front of Miangas residents at SMK N 2 Talaud, Kepulauan Talaud, North Sulawesi, on Saturday (9/5/2026). Prabowo expressed gratitude for becoming the second president to visit Miangas after the seventh President Jokowi. He mentioned that Jokowi had inaugurated the Miangas Airport, while he would maintain it. “And we are grateful. I am the second president; Mr Jokowi has already done it. Mr Jokowi inaugurated the airport, and I will later repair or maintain it to make it even better,” he stated. Previously, upon arriving in Miangas, Prabowo inspected the Puskesmas, the only health facility on the island. After that, Prabowo visited SMK Negeri 2 Talaud to greet several residents.
