Jakarta – Candidate president number 2 and Indonesian Minister of Defense Prabowo Subianto emphasized that the key to world peace and prosperity is by maintaining the stability of basic human needs.
This was conveyed by Prabowo when he became the keynote speaker at the Mandiri Investment Forum 2024 event at Fairmont Hotel Jakarta, Tuesday (5/3/2024).
According to Prabowo, in the economy of a country, basic needs of society must be fulfilled first before other needs. Therefore, no matter what the nationality, religion, or economic and political philosophy, every country wants basic things for its people, namely life, freedom, and happiness.
“Meaning, every leader in every country must strive to bring prosperity to their people. Whatever their political ideology, whatever their reforms, whatever their aspirations, every leader in every country surely dreams of achieving prosperity,” said Prabowo.
With the creation of stability, according to Prabowo, the government of a country will be able to realize aspirations that have a positive impact for the people, namely peace and prosperity.
Especially for traders, farmers, and fishermen. When the economy runs well, there will certainly be a buying and selling process between the people and the traders, farmers, or fishermen.
“If traders cannot go to the market and sell their goods, who will buy the farmers’ produce, who will buy and sell the fishermen’s produce, where will the people meet their basic needs. So, in my opinion, the economy must refer to stability to maintain prosperity,” said Prabowo.
This certainly poses a big challenge for the whole world, especially Indonesia, which has successfully obtained independence and handed down to be guarded and managed by its own people.
“In my opinion, Indonesia should be proud that we have independence obtained through years of struggle. Independence as a gift that we must fight for,” said Prabowo. (SENOPATI)
