Prabowo Sends Teams to China, India, and Egypt to Study Best Practices for National Development

President Prabowo Subianto has revealed that the government is actively seeking best practices from several countries to accelerate national development. To this end, the government has sent teams to China, India, and Egypt to study technology, methods, and policies that have been successfully implemented in those nations. “I have sent teams everywhere. I sent a team to China, a team to India, and a team to Egypt to observe, take notes, and learn. We are adopting the best from other nations,” Prabowo stated during a mass subsidised housing contract handover event for 62,000 low-income families in Batang, Central Java, on Thursday, 30 July 2026. The President noted that this approach is also being applied to the national housing programme. The government is currently seeking the most efficient construction techniques and inviting the best partners to accelerate the provision of housing for the public. “It is the same in the housing sector. We are looking for the best techniques, and we are inviting the best partners,” he said. While reluctant to make excessive promises, Prabowo assured that the government would continue to work at a high speed to ensure the benefits of development are felt immediately by the people. He stated that accelerating development programmes is part of the effort to drive the national economy. “I do not want to make many promises, but we will see in the coming developments that our plans will continue. For us, we will work very quickly to deliver real results to the people and to drive our economy,” he asserted. Prabowo also declared that the government is on the right track in executing its development agenda. Amid a tense global situation, he believes that the policies pursued over the past nearly two years have begun to show concrete results. He reminded the audience that global uncertainty requires the government to manage the budget with greater discipline, urging all ranks to improve efficiency, tighten oversight, and close any potential leaks to maintain national economic resilience.
