Mendagri Tito Accompanies President at Leadership Course for DPRD Leaders

President Prabowo Subianto's direct engagement with the Chairpersons of Regional Representative Councils (DPRD) across Indonesia underscores a critical focus on strengthening national leadership from the grassroots up. The "Leadership Enhancement Course for DPRD Leaders" held at the Military Academy in Magelang is not merely a routine gathering; it is a strategic platform designed to align regional legislative bodies with the national vision of "Asta Cita" and the ambitious goal of "Golden Indonesia 2045."

“

After I knew that all the Chairpersons of the DPRD throughout Indonesia were here, I considered it important and appropriate for me to attend directly.

The President's presence signifies the administration's recognition that robust national development hinges significantly on the effectiveness, integrity, and public-oriented approach of regional leaders. By speaking "from the heart" and "as things are," Prabowo aimed to foster a sense of shared responsibility and national purpose among diverse participants, transcending regional, ethnic, educational, and political differences. This emphasis on unity and shared goals is particularly vital in a nation as vast and varied as Indonesia.

“

As children of the nation, today I want to speak from heart to heart, I want to speak as things are.

From an Indonesian perspective, this initiative reflects a top-down commitment to empower and guide local governance. Unlike Western models that might focus solely on central government initiatives, Indonesia's approach acknowledges the crucial role of regional autonomy and leadership in achieving national aspirations. The Ministry of Home Affairs' involvement, as the general supervisor of regional governance, further solidifies the central government's role in ensuring that regional bodies are not just autonomous but also aligned with national objectives and capable of effective leadership. The focus on "Asta Cita" and "Indonesia Emas 2045" provides a clear roadmap, ensuring that regional efforts contribute meaningfully to the nation's long-term strategic goals.

KPPD has been ongoing for five days, Mr. President, from April 15th to tomorrow, April 19th, 2026, at the Lembah Tidar, Military Academy, Magelang, where national leaders are forged and trained, attended by 503 Chairpersons of the DPRD.
