Prabowo lauds Gibran's contributions over two years of service

Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto has praised Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka for his contributions to the administrative support and extensive regional oversight over the administration's first two years in office.

Speaking at a press conference following Gibran’s resignation as vice president, Prabowo acknowledged that Gibran’s contributions have been vital since their election campaign through to the current governance period, generating tangible outcomes for the public.

"I would like to acknowledge that he has been a great help to me, from the campaign period, when we sought the people's mandate, through these two years of governance, during which we have achieved many tangible results for our people," Prabowo said at the State Palace in Jakarta on Thursday.

The president explained the administration's policy achievements stem from a deliberate division of responsibilities.

Prabowo said he had focused on formulating national policies, improving regulations, promoting efficiency, curbing irregularities across sectors, and reforming the economic system to bring it in line with the 1945 Constitution, particularly Articles 33 and 34; Gibran was tasked with nationwide regional outreach.

Prabowo said the division of responsibilities was also necessary amid global uncertainty, conflicts, wars, and economic shocks that required the government's direct attention.

He said Gibran’s extensive field presence was critical to administrative continuity.

According to state data, Gibran visited 35 provinces, 149 districts and cities, as well as inspected 303 government project sites over the past two years.

"This demonstrates his hard work, dedication, and commitment in carrying out his mandate," Prabowo said, concluding the briefing by extending his deepest gratitude to the vice president for his service.
