On this occasion, Kasad also emphasized that the TNI AD continues to support various priority programs of the President of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto, including the construction of bridges, the provision of clean water, and the strengthening of the agricultural sector as part of efforts to help accelerate development and improve the welfare of the community.
Meanwhile, regarding various events involving military personnel, the Kasad emphasized the commitment of the TNI AD to enforce discipline and process each violation in accordance with applicable laws.
"Regarding violations, we are committed to following up in accordance with applicable rules," General Maruli said.
In addition to discussing the development of the global situation, the working meeting also highlighted the importance of strengthening border security, cyber security, and defense cooperation with friendly countries as part of Indonesia's defense diplomacy.
