Insya Allah<\/em>, we will achieve that. We will save our budget and make it more efficient. If necessary, we will reduce the police budget to eliminate poverty,\u201d the President asserted in his remarks after leading a simultaneous grand harvest held in Malang regency, East Java province, on Friday (07\/17).<\/p>\nThe President conveyed that the efficiency measures form part of major effort to prepare Indonesia for its projected position as one of world\u2019s largest countries by 2045-2050. According to him, realizing that aspiration depends on adequately preparing today\u2019s younger generation.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren who are now 10 years old and in elementary school will be 35 years old in 25 years. They will become the core of the Indonesian nation. If we fail to take care of them today, how can Indonesia become the world\u2019s fourth-largest country?\u201d the President remarked.<\/p>\n
In this regard, the President emphasized that national strength is determined not only by defense and security in the conventional sense, but also by the welfare of its people. According to him, a strong, healthy, and prosperous people serve as the key foundation of national defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best defense is a strong and prosperous people. If anyone threatens Indonesia, the entire nation will stand up to defend it. That is why the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and Polri must remain close to the people, including farmers and fishers,\u201d the President stated.<\/p>\n
The President also expressed appreciation for the contribution of TNI and Polri in supporting communities through various initiatives, including the construction of bridges and the provision of clean water access. He underscored that addressing the people\u2019s hardships is a shared responsibility of all state elements.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday I am proud, today I am happy. I am truly grateful. The TNI has built thousands of bridges, and Polri has also established thousands of water points. We are addressing the people\u2019s hardships,\u201d the President remarked.<\/p>\n
Concluding his speech, the President affirmed that the TNI and Polri belong to the people, and must always serve the public by addressing the challenges faced by the community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is Indonesia. The TNI and Polri belong to the people. The people\u2019s hardships are our responsibility. The TNI and Polri must help overcome them,\u201d the President concluded.
