Jakarta, Indonesia Sentinel — VVIP guests from around the world have started arriving at the Indonesian Parliament Complex (DPR/MPR) for the inauguration of Prabowo Subianto and Gibran Rakabuming Raka as Indonesia’s new President and Vice President.
The highly anticipated event, scheduled for October 20, 2024, is set to begin at 10:00 AM local time and will mark the official start of the 2024-2029 administration.
As the President-elect, Prabowo personally welcomed international delegations, including representatives from key geopolitical players such as the United States, Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, France, Canada, Japan, and Germany. These countries are strategic partners for Indonesia, and their presence at the ceremony underscores the significance of Indonesia’s leadership transition on the global stage.
The inauguration ceremony will be held during a special plenary session of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) at the Nusantara Building within the Parliament Complex in Senayan, Jakarta. This monumental event will mark the end of President Joko Widodo’s administration, as he passes the baton to Prabowo and his Vice President, Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
Ahmad Muzani, Chairman of the MPR, had previously announced that around 33 heads of state and other high-level foreign officials would be in attendance, signifying the global importance of this leadership transition. Among the attendees will be several heads of state and special envoys, highlighting the international interest in Indonesia’s political future.
Prabowo’s inauguration is being closely watched not only for its national implications but also for how it could shape Indonesia’s role in the global arena. Under Prabowo’s leadership, there is anticipation regarding Indonesia’s economic policies, foreign relations, and stance on key global issues, particularly in Southeast Asia and beyond.
