JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo admitted that he did not want the strategy implemented in Indonesia Gold's 2045 vision to use terms with floating languages. To the Minister of National Development Planning/Head of Bappenas Suharso Monoarfa, Jokowi asked the state's long-term development plan (RPJPN) which contains a strategy towards Indonesia Gold 2045 to be described more tactically and in detail. "We are dealing with the competition of other countries. We can't anymore be like we used to be, using the term absurd. Development, what is development? Strengthening, what is strengthening? Empowerment? What must be to the point! Must be tactical, to bring Indonesian big ships to Indonesia. Golden Indonesia 2045," Jokowi said at the launch of Indonesia Gold 2045 at Djakarta Theater, Thursday, June 15. According to Jokowi, Indonesia's great strategy of advancing which is accompanied by tactical plans and visions and dares to execute is important to bring the Indonesian nation's big ships to reach Indonesia's 2045 ideals to become the top 5 of the world economy. "There are opportunities, all the calculations are correct. From Bappenas I have heard the calculations, from IMF syaa I have heard the calculations, from world banks I have also heard the calculations, almost similar, but the challenges are not easy either," said Jokowi. Then, Jokowi revealed the main things that became Indonesia's reference for realizing Indonesia Gold 2045. The first thing is that Indonesia must maintain its stability from a conflict that has hit the country. "No country has succeeded in achieving prosperity when conditions are unstable, show which country. When the country is divided, it will not achieve prosperity. The country is in conflict, no prosperity will be achieved. Chaos continues, no prosperity will be achieved," said Jokowi. Furthermore, Jokowi emphasized the importance of sustainability and sustainability in carrying out the leadership of a country, especially achieving the great vision and dream of the Indonesian nation. "Leadership is like a baton, not a gas station meter (fuel station). If the gas station meter starts from zero, do we want that? No. Cook like a gas station meter," said Jokowi. The former governor of DKI Jakarta emphasized that sustainable and sustainable leadership is an important aspect in realizing the vision of Indonesia Gold 2045. "If you have come from kindergarten, elementary, junior high school, then the next leadership will enter high school, (then) university, then next master's degree, doctoral degree. Don't go back and forth, (such as dance) poco poco," said Jokowi, who was greeted with laughter from the audience at the event. Next, Jokowi emphasized the importance of industrial downstreaming indonesiacentric development. According to Jokowi, Indonesia can jump to become the equivalent of developed countries if it succeeds in building industrial downstreaming.

"Building, for example, mineral downstream companies to build an EV (electric vehicle) battery ecosystem, how we used to export only raw, export nickel only raw can be lithium battery," said Jokowi.
