BOGOR - President Prabowo Subianto held a closed meeting with former aides and bodyguards who had accompanied him while still active in the TNI. The moment took place at Prabowo's private residence in Hambalang, Bogor, Sunday, March 8, 2026.
The Secretary of the Cabinet (Seskab) Teddy Indra Wijaya said the meeting reunited people who had been in Prabowo's security circle when they served in Kostrad and Kopassus about 30 years ago.
"President Prabowo Subianto called and greeted all of his former aides and bodyguards while serving in Kostrad and Kopassus, or when he was still active in the TNI 30 years ago," Teddy said in a written statement.
According to Teddy, the life journey of the former aides and bodyguards is now different. Some are still active as TNI soldiers. Some others have retired. There are also those who now work in Prabowo's private company.
"Some of the aides and bodyguards are still active as TNI today. There are also those who have retired but are employed in his private company," said Teddy.
The meeting was not only filled with nostalgia. In a familiar atmosphere, the former aides and bodyguards also shared their life stories after being separated for a long time. From there, the story that Teddy said was the most touching emerged.
One of the former bodyguards, said Teddy, told him that his son had been helped by Prabowo. Now, the child has graduated as a bachelor and has been working.
The meeting in Hambalang showed that Prabowo's relationship with people who had accompanied him in his military service is still maintained until now.
