JAKARTA - Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is in touch with the National Police's Retired Union (PP) extended family at the Tribrata Balai Tetap Setia building, Central Police PP office, Jakarta.

Prabowo said the closed agenda discussed the current situation and condition of the Indonesian nation. He reminded the people of the country to be grateful for the success of the Indonesian government, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I have the opportunity to also convey the situation of the nation's condition many times on various occasions, conveyed by the President, that we should be grateful for the success of the Indonesian nation until now," said Prabowo.

He assessed that Indonesia is one of the countries that has succeeded in overcoming the COVID-19 crisis. The reason is, Indonesia can overcome the pandemic problem relatively quickly without sacrificing economic conditions and continue to protect all levels of society.

"We are recognized by many international agencies that we are able to overcome this pandemic relatively quickly by not sacrificing our economic conditions, especially for our weakest people. The lower layers are still able to be protected by the Indonesian government," he said.

Prabowo said Indonesia's post-pandemic economic growth was quite good. Therefore, he invites the public to be grateful for the success of economic management in improving people's welfare.

"Our growth as soon as we run out of COVID-19 is still rebounding, which is quite good. Our growth is above 5 percent, our inflation is still single digits, in many countries it is tens of percent. So, I think as a nation we should be aware and grateful," he said.

In addition, Prabowo also explained that at the meeting he was given an explanation regarding the development of the National Police PP. He appreciated the performance of the National Police PP because it had a comprehensive and visionary plan.

"I was given a presentation seeing the development of the National Police PP which I think is very great, very comprehensive, and comprehensive. Have a program that has a long vision in the future to think about the welfare of the retired Polri," said Prabowo.

Prabowo said that the union of retired should actually be meaningful and useful. Therefore, he hopes that other retired unity can intensify communication and learn from each other.

"I think it is necessary to note lessons for other retired units (PP), which I will recommend later PP AD and those from AU, from the Navy, are all getting more and more frequent to visit, exchange information, learn from each other," he said.

Prabowo said his visit to the National Police PP was an honor. He admitted that he was trying to visit components that had influence and network throughout Indonesia.

"I've been in PP AD, the army, I've also been in PP ABRI figures and so on. Today I went to the National Police PP and I was accepted tremendously," said Prabowo.
