President Prabowo Subianto emphasized the importance of newly commissioned officers of the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and National Police (Polri) to lead by example in their daily lives. At the 2025 Oath-Taking and Commissioning Ceremony, President Prabowo urged the officers to internalize their oath of office as a solemn commitment to serve the nation and its people. He stressed that the oath should not just be recited as a formality but lived out with integrity and readiness to sacrifice for the nation.
President Prabowo reminded the officers of the great responsibility they now carry, which includes safeguarding the country’s sovereignty and the security of its people. He highlighted the sacrifices made during Indonesia’s struggle for independence and warned that the nation must remain strong to face challenges and threats.
The President called on the newly commissioned officers to take heart in their pledge to serve the nation and be prepared to fulfill their duty, even if it requires the ultimate sacrifice. The people of Indonesia, he emphasized, are counting on their service, dedication, and commitment to upholding the nation’s sovereignty and dignity.
