Attending the 79th Harkopnas at the Indonesia Arena, President Prabowo Officially Inaugurates the Red and White Village Cooperative Operations
JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto officially attended the 79th National Cooperative Day (Harkopnas) celebration held at the Indonesia Arena, Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Jakarta, on Sunday (12/7/2026). This year's commemoration is a great momentum for the revival of the people's economy through the cooperative sector.
President Prabowo arrived at the event location at around 14.15 WIB wearing his typical light brown safari shirt, paired with black trousers and a black turban. The presence of the Head of State was greeted with a roar of the song "From Sabang to Merauke" sung together by all participants who filled the stands to the middle area of Indonesia Arena.
Momentum of the Launch of the Red and White Village/Neighborhood Cooperative (KDKMP)
The peak of the 79th Harkopnas commemoration carries the big theme "Cooperative Power, Indonesia is Successful". This theme is not just a slogan, but a marker of the start of a new chapter of the village economic movement in line with the entry into the operational phase of the Red and White Village Cooperative (KDKMP).
The KDKMP program is projected to be a key pillar in strengthening food and economic resilience at the grassroots level, in line with the vision of national industrialization and self-reliance.
The commemoration of National Cooperative Day on July 12 is rooted in the First Cooperative Congress which took place in Tasikmalaya in 1947.
