Chairman of the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) Puan Maharani said that the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) that had been determined by President Prabowo Subianto was not just a formality of planning, but a strategic and technocratic translation of Asta Cita.

"RPJMN is not just a formality of planning, but is a strategic and technocratic translation of the President's vision and mission which is summarized in Asta Cita," he said in his opening speech for the first trial of the DPR RI for the 2025-2026 Session Year.

Puan said that President Prabowo Subianto's government had set the direction of development for the next five years through the RPJMN document.

He added that this document became a compass for national development for all ministries/agencies; therefore: there is no ministerial vision and mission, there is only the President's vision and mission.

According to him, development is not an instant process and not all development results can be felt instantly, because development takes time, consistency, and policy continuity.

He added that policies that only oriented to temporary interests, no matter how big today seem, will be, but could risk becoming a burden on the country in the future.

"Therefore, the DPR RI together with the Government hold a big constitutional responsibility to ensure that every state policy in legal politics, defense politics, development politics, and budget politics is carefully formulated, taking into account the benefits and risks, both in the short term and in the long term," he said.

Puan said that every policy must be fully oriented towards the interests of the people, not merely on sectoral interests or short-term interests.

"The second year's session is a strategic momentum for the DPR RI and the Government to strengthen the direction of state policy as a whole. The people have high hopes that under the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto, the direction of national policy will increasingly be in favor of people's lives," he said.

Dalam mewujudkan harapan tersebut, ia menyampaikan bahwa DPR RI melalui fungsi legislasi, fungsi anggaran, dan fungsi pengawasan, akan menjalankan perannya sebagai mitra konstitusional pemerintah dalam menyukseskan Pembangunan Nasional.

"DPR RI akan memastikan bahwa seluruh pelaksanaan pembangunan nasional dilakukan dalam kerangka hukum yang berlaku, berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan, serta berorientasi pada kepentingan rakyat," pungkasnya.

In realizing this hope, he said that the DPR RI through its legislative function, budget function, and supervisory function, would carry out its role as a constitutional partner of the government in the success of National Development.

"The DPR RI will ensure that all national development implementations are carried out within the framework of the applicable law, based on statutory regulations, and oriented to the interests of the people," he concluded.
