President Prabowo Subianto emphasized the importance of newly commissioned officers of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri) setting a strong example in their conduct and actions. Speaking at the 2025 Oath-Taking and Commissioning Ceremony in Jakarta, President Prabowo urged the officers to truly internalize the oath they have taken, viewing it as a solemn commitment to serve the nation and its people.
The President highlighted the significance of the oath, emphasizing that it should not just be recited as a formality but lived out with integrity and a willingness to sacrifice for the nation. He called upon the officers to remember their pledge to serve the nation and to be prepared to defend it with their lives if necessary.
President Prabowo reminded the officers of the weighty responsibilities that come with their roles, including safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and the security of its people. He stressed the importance of dedication, service, and, if needed, ultimate sacrifice for the nation.
Reflecting on Indonesia’s history of struggle and sacrifice for independence, President Prabowo warned that the country will inevitably face challenges and threats in the future. He emphasized the need for strength and unity to prevent the nation from being divided or controlled by foreign powers.
The President’s address serves as a powerful reminder to the newly commissioned officers of the TNI and Polri of the profound duty they have undertaken to serve and protect Indonesia and its people.
