Doha – President Indonesia terpilih periode 2024-2029 Prabowo Subianto accompanied by Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka attended the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, Wednesday, (15/4/2024).
On that occasion, Prabowo, who appeared as one of the speakers, was asked about his leadership style in the future.
Prabowo confirmed that he will be himself in order to bring prosperity to the Indonesian people.
“I will be myself sincerely. That means being loyal to principles, values, and aspirations as a patriot. My main value is the welfare of my people. My people must be safe, not hungry, and must have a good life. That is the dream of every patriot in every country in the world,” said Prabowo.
Furthermore, Prabowo emphasized that the fact that he once served in the military will not affect his policies, including on democracy in his leadership.
“You know, I have been out of the military for over 25 years. So in my opinion, whatever you call militaristic, it is irrelevant, it has nothing to do with anything,” Prabowo asserted.
“And about democracy, why not ask the Indonesian people? I have participated in the electoral contests four times and asked for the approval of the Indonesian people three times. They did not give their approval. This time, they gave their approval. Where is the concern for democracy? In my opinion, this is fabricated by a few people. So I will work very hard not to disappoint my people. The legacy we want to leave behind is a good name, a good name in the history of our country,” added Prabowo, followed by applause from the audience.
He said his desire to serve is based on sincerity to improve the welfare of the Indonesian people. He wants to contribute with his insights and experience in leadership.
“I was raised in many countries and I saw many of them were very poor. In my heart, I cannot accept that in this era. Indonesia is a member of the G20. Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world. Many of my people are still living very, very difficult lives. And that’s what drives me. I want to do my part. I want to contribute with my insights and experience in my leadership. I am confident that I can contribute a lot to improve the lives of my people,” Prabowo concluded.
