\"Presiden

President Prabowo delivers his directives at the State Palace on Friday (03\/13).<\/p><\/div>\n

During a Cabinet Meeting at State Palace on Friday (03\/13), President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that national interests must remain the top priority in managing the country\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoal mining production should primarily serve national interests, just like the palm oil sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President emphasized that Indonesia\u2019s natural resources must be harnessed to their fullest potential for the benefit of the people.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the Government has made national interests the top priority in its human resources management policy, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll natural resources belong to the people. I am firm on that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Bahlil Lahadalia explained that the Government has secured sufficient coal supply for domestic needs through export controls and the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO) policy.<\/p>\n

\u201cCoal industries that submitted their annual work plan plans and budget must comply with the DMO policy. We will not issue export permits if they fail to meet their DMO requirements or if domestic demand remains unmet. Our priority is fulfilling domestic needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Government is also preparing a policy to govern coal production to be allocated for domestic demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are preparing a regulation the form of a ministerial decision under which coal production will be primarily allocated for domestic demand, with only the surplus allowed to be exported,\u201d Bahlil said.<\/p>\n

The policy is one of the measures to safeguard national energy security and to ensure that the management of Indonesia\u2019s natural resources is directed as much as possible toward the people\u2019s welfare and national development.\u00a0 (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat) (RD\/EP)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
