This is what prompted the Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, accompanied by the Chief of Staff of the Army (KSAD) General TNI Maruli Simanjuntak, Deputy Minister of Home Affairs (Wamendagri) Ribka Haluk, and Chairman of the Executive Committee for the Acceleration of Special Autonomy Development of Papua Veliv V Wanggai, to visit Wamena in Jayawijaya Regency and Dekai in Yahukimo Regency, Papua Mountains, for two days on January 13-14, 2026.

"The Vice President's visit to Papua, especially Biak, Wamena, and Yahukimo, to ensure that quick win programs can run well, including the People's School Program and Free Nutritious Meals (MBG)," he said, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, January 14.

According to him, Vice President Gibran's visit to Wamena was the first after being inaugurated with President Prabowo Subianto some time ago.

"We can say that the visit to Wamena is the first after being inaugurated last year with Mr. President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto.

"The Vice President has carried out a working visit to Biak and will be scheduled to Yahukimo today (14/1) to ensure that all national agendas can be implemented at the planning, preparation, institutional levels of the regional government as well as people's schools and the MBG economic ecosystem," he said.

The Vice President, he continued, is scheduled today (Wednesday) to visit the economic center in Pasat Potikelek to see firsthand the economic activities of the original Papuan mothers selling original Papuan commodities or food.

"The market economy can be a node for economic movement in Papua and in line with the central government's priority programs in improving traditional and modern markets," he said.
