Leading The Gala Dinner Regional Head, President Prabowo: Note! We Are Abdi Rakyat

JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto led a joint meal or gala dinner along with regional heads in a series of leadership retreats at the Military Academy Complex (Akmil) Magelang, Central Java, on Thursday, February 27 evening.

The event was also attended by the 6th President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and the 7th President Joko Widodo (Jokowi). The three of them appeared compact wearing reserve component uniforms (komcad).

In his remarks during the match at the dinner, Prabowo emphasized that regional heads have an obligation to serve the people, because they are directly elected by the community.

"I reiterate, we are all state officials, both mayors, deputy mayors, regents, deputy regents, governors, deputy governors, who are elected by the people. We are people's servants, people's leaders," he said.

President Prabowo invited all regional heads to work together and build optimal governments, although they came from different backgrounds.

"We come from different regions, languages, customs, ethnicities, and religions. However, we are all one big family of the archipelago, the big family of Indonesia," he said.

On that occasion, Prabowo also paid tribute to SBY and Jokowi for their leadership over the past 20 years that have maintained national stability.

"Mr. SBY, Pak Jokowi, for 20 years you have controlled the nation and state, maintained unity, and protected Indonesia from threats from outside parties," said President Prabowo Subianto.

Previously, these elected Regional Heads had participated in a series of events since February 21 in Magelang. Various activities have been carried out, ranging from briefing, morning exercise, to rows-of-row training to strengthen togetherness and improve leadership discipline.

Meanwhile, on the last day of Retreat in Magelang, Prabowo will continue with a direct briefing on Friday, February 28
