President Prabowo: One Year of the Red and White Cabinet, Tangible Results Felt by the People

President Prabowo Subianto, accompanied by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, leads a Plenary Cabinet Meeting to commemorate the first anniversary of the Red and White Cabinet at the State Palace, Jakarta, Monday (10/20).

President Prabowo Subianto, along with Vice President Gibran Rakabuming, Monday (10/20) at the State Paalce, Jakarta, led a Plenary Cabinet Meeting to mark the first anniversary of the Red and White Cabinet.

The meeting was attended by all Ministers and high-ranking state officials and served as a moment of reflection on the Government’s performance during its first year in office since the President took office on October 20, 2024.

On that occasion, the President called on all government ranks to reflect on the administration’s journey over the past year and renew their commitment to serving the nation and its people.

“We are grateful to attend this Plenary Cabinet Meeting on October 20, 2025, exactly one year since my inauguration and oath-taking before the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) as President of the Republic of Indonesia. I believe it is fitting for us to gather here to review what we have accomplished over the past year,” the President said in his remarks.

The Head of State also reminded his Cabinet of the spirit of unity and mutual cooperation that underpins the Red and White Cabinet and emphasized that the diverse backgrounds of cabinet members — spanning regions, ethnicities, religions, and political affiliations — are a source of strength in building an inclusive and cohesive government.

“I thank all of you who come from different backgrounds, regions, ethnicities, religions, and political parties. Some of you come from parties that supported our coalition during the General Election and Presidential Election, while others did not,” the President said.

With his characteristic warm communication style, the Head of State likened the Cabinet’s work to a football team, where each member plays a strategic role in pursuing a common goal.

“If we were a football team, I would be the manager and coach, and you are the players. Ladies and gentlemen, in this first phase, some of us were strikers, and some were defenders,” he stated.

President Prabowo Subianto also expressed his deep appreciation for the dedication and hard work of his cabinet, acknowledging their tireless service to the nation, while also took the opportunity to publicly apologize to the families of cabinet members for the personal time often sacrificed in the call of duty.

“I also want to apologize, especially to your families, for often taking up your days off. It seems like there are no holidays in our cabinet. Saturdays, Sundays, nights, and sometimes I call very late at night or very early in the morning, and you always answer right away. I don’t know, maybe the phone is right next to your pillow,” the President said, drawing laughter from his Ministers.

The President also underscored that the Cabinet’s hard work over the past year has delivered tangible results that are directly felt by the people.

“I believe we can stand before our people with a sense of honor and confidence. We have worked hard and we have produced results that the people can truly feel,” the President remarked. (BPMI of Presidential Secretariat) (RIF/EP)
