President Prabowo Subianto arrived at the parliamentary complex in Jakarta on Friday for a state address and a report on the performance of state institutions. The event marked a significant day in the Indonesian political calendar, with the President set to deliver two key speeches.

The first speech, the State Address and Report on State Institutions' Performance, was delivered during a joint session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) and the Regional Representative Council (DPD) at 8:30 AM Western Indonesian Time. This was followed by a state address during a plenary session of the House of Representatives (DPR) at 1:00 PM.

The proceedings were attended by a distinguished list of guests, including Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka, former Presidents Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla, former Vice President Boediono, and cabinet ministers. Ambassadors from friendly nations and leaders of state institutions were also present, underscoring the importance of the occasion.

Security was visibly heightened around the parliamentary complex, with security forces managing access and traffic flow. The police implemented situational traffic diversions to ensure the smooth movement of attendees and to mitigate potential congestion in the Senayan area. The public was advised to anticipate traffic disruptions throughout the day.

We urge road users to anticipate potential traffic congestion around the Senayan area. The President's State Address is scheduled to begin at 08:00 AM Western Indonesian Time and conclude later.
