"The transformation strategy we are pursuing is based on realism and reflects the real conditions of our nation, the region, and the world," he said during a plenary cabinet session at the Presidential Office in Jakarta on Wednesday.
Prabowo noted that theoretical or idealistic approaches alone are not sufficient to address the country's challenges. While idealism has its place, he stressed that realistic, grounded measures are essential.
"Idealism is necessary, but what will truly save us is realism. We must realistically assess our situation and take appropriate steps," he stated.
Prabowo, joined by Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, led his eighth plenary cabinet session since taking office on October 20, 2024.
In his remarks, Prabowo praised his Cabinet for working as a cohesive and dedicated team.
"I see all of you working as one team. Without your hard work and teamwork, we would not have achieved what we have today. In a short amount of time, we have accomplished a lot," he said.
He also commended ministers for staying focused and calm amid ongoing global geopolitical and geo-economic uncertainty.
