JAKARTA - Prior to the retirement of TNI Marshal Hadi Tjahjanto, President Jokowi has not yet sent the name of the replacement candidate for the position of TNI Commander. The names of Kasal and Kasad continued to be widely mentioned as strong candidates for Hadi Tjahjanto's successor.

In the midst of the issue of changing TNI commanders, TNI AD YouTube uploaded a video of the arrival of the Minister of State Secretary of the Republic of Indonesia (Mensesneg), Pratikno to the Army Headquarters. The time is not mentioned in detail.

But there, Pratikno met with the Army Chief of Staff (Kasad), General TNI Andika Perkasa. This video says that the visit was only a form of friendship between Pratikno and General TNI Andika.

Generals Andika and Pratikno did meet regularly at the beginning of Jokowi's administration. Because Andika at that time was the Commander of Paspampres who was fully responsible for Jokowi's security and safety.

In this video, Pratikno and Andika Perkasa talk more casually about the renovations taking place in the Headquarters environment. The two of them were walking around looking at modern architecture mixed with classics that were applied in the TNI AD Headquarters area. "I'm an architect fan, sir, a big fan of architects. It's like creating living, there's something there, it's creating living, not just making buildings," said the Minister of State Secretary.

The Minister of State Secretary also had the opportunity to see and try various gym facilities at Headquarters. Then he was greeted with Andika Perkasa's explanation about tips for maintaining body fitness by lifting weights. On that occasion there was a shocking incident for Kasad, at a young age, the Minister of State Secretary was still able to do pull-ups. "You can still (Kasad applause) try this, young soldiers, don't want to lose, you are 60 years old, amazing," Kasad was amazed.
