Bamsoet said President Jokowi continued to encourage Indonesia to move forward and prove it to be a big country.

In line with Trisakti Bung Karno's vision, that as a great nation, we must be able to be sovereign in the political field, be independent in the economic field, and have a personality in culture.

"In terms of relay, the next government must continue to fight for this vision," he said.

In addition, Bamsoet also congratulated Prabowo and Gibran on the mandate given by the Indonesian people.
