JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto praised the 14th Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka for his significant assistance throughout his presidency.

Prabowo noted Gibran's contributions in winning the hearts of the people that led to his victory in the 2024 presidential election.

"I want to express that he has helped me a lot, starting from the campaign period to secure the mandate from the people," Prabowo stated at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on Thursday (12/11/2026).

Prabowo mentioned that during the two years of the Prabowo-Gibran administration, many achievements have been realized for the people.

According to him, these government accomplishments are closely tied to the role and contributions of the eldest son of the 7th President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"From the beginning of the administration, I asked him to go directly to various regions, to the remote areas, to check on the progress of government programs. I coordinated this division of tasks," he explained.

Prabowo stated that he focused more on formulating national policies at the central level, improving regulations to yield the best outcomes, and addressing irregularities across all sectors.

"And to improve our economic system so that it truly returns to the 1945 Constitution, particularly Articles 33 and 34," Prabowo asserted.

Meanwhile, Prabowo also expressed that the current global situation is filled with uncertainty, conflict, and war, requiring his direct attention.

In fact, he pointed out that recent conflicts in the Middle East have impacted the global economy, including Indonesia's economy.

"Thus, I feel assisted. He has carried out this task well. He has visited 35 provinces and 149 regencies/cities within two years, and conducted checks and reviews on 303 government project sites," he added.

"This shows his hard work, dedication, and commitment in fulfilling his mandate. For all his service and hard work, I express my deepest gratitude and appreciation," Prabowo concluded.
