He also addressed the notion of a "dark Indonesia," asserting that his administration remains committed to its work and is optimistic about the nation's future. Prabowo emphasized the importance of self-reliance, cautioning against continuous dependence on foreign powers. "But don't keep following foreign powers. Indonesia is bad, Indonesia is this, Indonesia is dark. If you wear dark glasses, then it's always dark," he stated.

The president reiterated his administration's determination to deliver the best for the country and achieve its goals swiftly. He stressed that Indonesia's abundant natural resources must benefit all citizens equitably, lamenting that the people have endured substandard living conditions for too long despite the nation's wealth.
