Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto has lauded the preliminary concept of state defense strategic document presented by the working group team in Jakarta on Monday.

The working group comprises 40 high-ranking offices from the National Defense Forces (TNI), the Army (TNI AD), Navy (TNI AL), Air Force (TNI AUI), and Defense University (Unhan).

The concept is the early process of preparing strategic documents for the Indonesian defense strategy, state defense doctrine, state defense strategy, and state defense posture, he remarked in a statement here on Tuesday.

“The concept is okay and still needs to be further considered, finalized, and detailed to see what needs to be sharpened,” he noted.

The Defense Ministry and the working group team will study thoroughly the preliminary concept to produce a state defense strategic document as the outcome of synergy among defense stakeholders within the TNI, he stated.

Prabowo expressed optimism that the joint working group would continue to exist in future in order to maintain the already built synergy.

“The personnel may change, but our projection continues to run. We abandon the old thoughts that in 30 to 40 years’ time no war will happen in Indonesia,” he stated

The formulation of a strategic document is part of the efforts to improve a state defense blueprint in order to take precautionary measures against all sorts of threats and worst-case scenarios, he noted.
