In his speech, Prabowo affirmed his commitment to prioritizing the interests of the Indonesian nation and people. He emphasized that his government would work for all people, regardless of political background.
"We will prioritize the interests of the Indonesian nation and people above all interests, above all groups, especially our personal interests," Prabowo stated firmly.
The Chairman of Indonesia's People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), Ahmad Muzani, also delivered a message to Prabowo and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
