JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - President Prabowo Subianto emphasised the importance of cooperation to all his ranks in the Merah Putih Cabinet. Prabowo stressed that ministries and agencies must be united in achieving common aspirations in building Indonesia. “That is why I gathered this working meeting so that later we are one, one language, one work plan.

We must work together,” said Prabowo in his briefing at the Palace in Jakarta, quoted from the YouTube broadcast of the Presidential Secretariat, Wednesday (8/4/2026).

It has been one and a half years, alhamdulillah we have been able to control the direction of development, the direction of the nation-state,” he continued. He stated that the government he leads runs effectively, reliably, and can carry out state duties correctly and well. “Alhamdulillah, we have been able to control the direction of national development.
