JAKARTA - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto asked the Indonesian National Army (TNI) to improve themselves and take an active role in protecting the wealth of natural resources (SDA) in the country from the target of foreign parties and irresponsible persons.
This firm order was conveyed by Prabowo while leading the celebration of the TNI's 80th Anniversary which was held at Monas, Jakarta, Sunday, October 5, 2025.
Prabowo emphasized that the TNI's task is now getting tougher amidst the political and global economic dynamics. He bluntly highlighted the existence of foreign forces that are still trying to control or steal Indonesia's natural wealth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we no longer need to cover up that our natural wealth is very large. Hundreds of years in the archipelago have always been disturbed, invaded by foreign forces," Prabowo said in his speech.
The former Danjen Kopassus continued, efforts to steal natural resources are still happening today.
"They come to us to take our wealth, to this day, until now we still have a lot of our wealth stolen, smuggled, taken by irresponsible forces," he stressed.
