JAKARTA - Prabowo Subianto was officially inaugurated as President of the Republic of Indonesia with Gibran Rakabuming Raka as Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. In his speech after Prabowo's inauguration, Indonesia was able to self-sufficiency in food.

In his next five years government, Prabowo targets Indonesia to be able to produce and meet the food needs of all people.

"I have studied with the experts who helped me, I am sure that no later than four to five years we will be self-sufficient in food, we are even ready to become a world food barn," Prabowo said at the Nusantara Building, Senayan Parliament Complex, Jakarta, Sunday, October 20.

Prabowo assessed that in the future Indonesia should not always depend on imports of materials or food sources from abroad.

"In a crisis, in a precarious situation, no one will allow their goods for us to buy. Therefore, there is no other way, in the shortest possible time, we must achieve food security," Prabowo continued to applause.

On that occasion, Prabowo admitted that he could not simply feel proud after Indonesia joined the G-20 and entered the country with the 16th largest economy in the world.

Although this achievement has been achieved, Prabowo emphasized that poverty is still experienced by many people. This problem, according to him, must be resolved in his leadership.

"Are we aware that poverty in Indonesia is still too great? Are we aware that many of our people and our children are malnourished? Many of our people do not get a good job. Many of our schools are not taken care of," explained Prabowo.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we must have the courage to see this all and we must have the courage to solve this problem all," he added.

Prabowo Subianto was officially inaugurated as the 8th President of the Republic of Indonesia with Gibran Rakabuming Raka as the 14th Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. Prabowo-Gibran was sworn in at the MPR RI plenary session at the Nusantara Building, Parliament Complex, Senayan, Jakarta, Sunday, October 20.

This plenary session was chaired by the Chairman of the MPR RI Ahmad Muzani with the attendance of members of the DPR and DPD RI as well as invited guests and state guests. The presidential inauguration session today was attended by 709 MPR members from 731 MPR RI members.

Prabowo and Gibran then took their oath with the guidance of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (MA) and clergy.

"Bismillahirrohmanirrohim, by Allah I swear, will fulfill the obligations of the President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as possible and fairly uphold the Constitution, and nominate all laws and regulations, in as straight a way as possible, and serve the homeland and nation," said Prabowo.

After Prabowo vowed as President of the Republic of Indonesia, Gibran also took the oath as Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.

"Bismillahirrohmanirrohim, By Allah, I swear that I will fulfill the obligations of the Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia as well as possible and fairly, uphold the Basic Law and carry out all laws and regulations as straight as possible and serve Nusa and the Nation," said Gibran in his oath.

After taking the oath, Prabowo and Gibran then signed the minutes of the inauguration of the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia. The chairman of the MPR continued to hand over the minutes to the President and Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia.
