Luhut admitted that he had recalled the memory of his experience and important achievements that had been realized in order to gain international trust. Starting from hosting various important international events.

Then, Indonesia was also highlighted because it was able to deal with the world crisis for the last three years. According to Luhut, this is proof of this nation to all countries in the world that Indonesia has the opportunity and readiness to become a developed country in the future.

Therefore, he continued, it takes strong consistency, courage, and commitment to continue the legacy that has been carried out by the current government. For this reason, Luhut invites all parties to focus and unite to continue to advance.

Furthermore, Luhut also believes that Indonesia can become one of the five countries with the largest economy in the world. He also hopes that the government and society will be able to work together to achieve an Advanced Indonesia in the future.
