The President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to continue assisting until recovery is complete. He also apologized if some areas had not yet received aid as expected.
“The government is going to help everyone. I apologize if there are still places we haven’t reached. We are working very hard,” Prabowo said.
During the visit, Prabowo was accompanied by National Police Chief Gen. Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Indonesian Military Commander Gen. Agus Subiyanto, and Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
After completing his state visits to Pakistan and Russia, President Prabowo and his ministerial delegation continued their trip to Medan.
In Medan, he is scheduled to inspect several areas affected by flash floods and landslides, and later lead a coordination meeting on disaster response across three Sumatra provinces: Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra.
The President’s aircraft landed at Kualanamu International Airport at around 2 a.m. Western Indonesian Time. On the flight from Moscow, he was accompanied by Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya.
