Secretary General of the MPR Siti Fauziah stated that the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) will attend the MPR RI Annual Session which will be held at the MPR/DPR building on Friday, August 15.
Meanwhile, the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri and the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo (Jokowi) have not confirmed it.
"The official invitation has been delivered to the previous president and vice president, and confirmation of attendance is still ongoing. But what has been confirmed is Pak SBY, then there are Pak Try Soetrisno, Mr. Jusuf Kalla and Mr. Boediono," said Siti Fauziah at a press conference, Wednesday, August 13.
"Mr. Jokowi and Mrs. Mega are still in confirmation," he continued.
Siti Fauziah also explained the video broadcast of President Prabowo Subianto's performance achievements at the annual session of the MPR RI. Where the broadcast of the video of the president's performance is the first time since the annual session was held.
"And the new thing is that if it's just a video, there's nothing new. With this, maybe there's still something that hasn't been fixed between reading the prayers at the beginning or reading prayers as usual at the end, that's all," he said.
"Actually, Mr. President's speech is also a representation of the performance of all institutions. This means that in it, the video may not only be a video of (the president only)", he continued.

On the other hand, Siti explained that the MPR annual session would not discuss the Principles of State Policy (PPHN).
"There is no annual trial, if you want to discuss PPHN. There must be another plenary forum, it's within the MPR. So there is a separate plenary forum to discuss PPHN, not an annual session," he said.
