JAKARTA - The Gerindra Party spoke about the meeting of the 6th President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) and Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto while attending the awarding ceremony of the honorary professor title to former Minister of Health Terawan Agus Putranto. SBY and Prabowo are very close.

The deputy governor of Gerindra, Habiburokhman, said that the two had a close relationship for a long time. Even from when they were both officers.

"Okay, okay, the names of the two friends met. They were friends since teenage officers then both had careers in the military, both entered politics. There was a lot of cooperation in various regional elections, elections. Very good friends, nothing problem," said Habiburokhman at the DPR building, Thursday, January 13.

Habiburokhman answered diplomatically when he was asked about the 2024 political discussion at the SBY-Prabowo meeting.

"Yes, it's possible (there is a special discussion regarding the 2024 General Election), right this is getting closer to the election. Yes, it's possible that there will be discussions between him, but I don't dare to ask Pak Prabowo about things like that," he said.

What is clear, said Habiburokhman, is that the conversation between SBY-Prabowo cannot be just a matter of daily life.

"We interpret that if two big figures, both big parties meet, when they only talk about hobbies, riding horses, or playing drums in a band, that's not the case," said Habiburokhman.

It is known, Dr. Terawan obtained the title of honorary professor (non-permanent professor) of defense science in the field of military medicine, Faculty of Military Medicine, Defense University (IDU).
