Daftar Sbmptn – A crucial meeting took place at the State Palace when President Prabowo Subianto received a visit from senior politician and Gerindra Party Chairman, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad. The closed-door meeting discussed a number of strategic agendas, ranging from developing the national sports sector, accelerating industrial downstreaming, to political and security stability ahead of the next crucial phase of government. Their discussion drew public attention because it took place amidst heightened political dynamics and the need to strengthen the national economic sector.
According to an internal source who attended the meeting, President Prabowo and Dasco discussed several priority programs deemed urgently needed to be completed in the near future. Prabowo, who has emphasized the importance of accelerating national programs since the beginning of his administration, views cross-sectoral discussions like this as key to ensuring policy consistency and effective implementation on the ground.
Focus on National Sports Development
One of the main points of the meeting was the sports sector, particularly in strengthening national achievements at the regional and global levels. Prabowo reportedly wants sports revitalization to be a policy focus, through improving training infrastructure, strengthening national competitions, and fostering young athletes from an early age.
Dasco, known for his active involvement in sports issues and frequent involvement in coaching several sports, provided several inputs regarding improving the quality of sports federation management, budget transparency, and the importance of consistently designing tiered competitions from the regional to national levels. He stated that sport is not just about achievement, but also part of building national character.
Prabowo responded positively to these inputs and emphasized that sport has a significant economic impact, especially when managed professionally. The government is also reviewing the possibility of increasing investment in the sports industry, including collaboration with the private sector for international sporting events. In this context, the meeting was seen as a first step towards developing a more targeted sports policy.
Accelerating Downstreaming in the Spotlight
The second agenda item discussed in depth was industrial downstreaming, an issue that has been a key commitment from the campaign through the beginning of Prabowo’s administration. Dasco presented the progress of several ongoing downstreaming programs, including challenges in the energy, mineral, and agricultural sectors.
Prabowo reiterated that downstreaming is the only way for Indonesia to break away from its dependence on raw material exports. He highlighted the need to accelerate the development of processing plants, provide more adaptive regulatory support, and establish a competitive industrial ecosystem. The President also reportedly instructed to strengthen inter-ministerial coordination to prevent bureaucratic bottlenecks and overlapping authority.
During the discussion, Dasco reported several proposals from industry players regarding support for access to financing and accelerated licensing. He noted that many investors are ready to enter the downstream sector but require regulatory certainty before making large-scale investments. Prabowo expressed his commitment to ensuring that any bureaucratic obstacles are addressed through system evaluations and improvements in governance.
Political-Security Issues Become Strategic Discussions
Amidst the dynamics of national politics and the uncertain global situation, political-security topics were also a key agenda item at the meeting. Prabowo, who has a long background in the defense industry, emphasized the importance of domestic stability in maintaining the sustainability of national development.
According to sources present at the meeting, Dasco conveyed several recent developments regarding the regional political situation, including the escalation of sensitive issues that have the potential to disrupt public order. Prabowo responded to these reports by emphasizing that the government would prioritize a dialogue approach, fair law enforcement, and strengthening intelligence to prevent various potential security disturbances.
Furthermore, the government’s strategy for dealing with global geopolitical tensions, particularly those related to international trade and food security, was also discussed. Prabowo stated that Indonesia must enhance national resilience through cross-agency synergy, including strengthening coordination between the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI), the Indonesian National Police (Polri), and relevant ministries.
Meeting Results and Next Steps
Although held behind closed doors, the meeting certainly resulted in several strategic understandings. Dasco stated that the discussions were constructive and would be followed up with technical coordination across several ministries, particularly those related to sports, industry, and security.
An internal source stated that Prabowo instructed several of his ministers to immediately prepare follow-up reports regarding the three sectors discussed. The government plans to hold a special coordination meeting in the coming weeks to ensure program implementation is proceeding as planned.
