“As the next generation, you are on the front line of realizing our aspirations and safeguarding the nation. Master science, technology, AI, cyber systems, unmanned technology and foreign languages,” Prabowo said.
Competition among nations is intensifying, while threats to sovereignty now include cyberwarfare, information technology, transnational crime and other nontraditional threats, he said.
TNI and Polri officers must demonstrate strong character, discipline, leadership and technological expertise to effectively protect the nation, Prabowo said.
“The TNI and Polri must be strong and professional. They must work together to safeguard the Indonesian nation,” he said.
Earlier, Prabowo commissioned 1,177 cadets from the TNI Academy and Police Academy as officers during the ceremony at Merdeka Palace.
The new officers comprise 512 Army officers, 229 Navy officers, 154 Air Force officers and 282 police officers.
Prabowo also presented the Adhi Makayasa award to four top graduates: Calvin Tidar Sakti of the Military Academy, Muhammad Rizqi Wira Utama Baihaqi Putra of the Naval Academy, Yehezkiel Bonaventura Yudaniarman of the Air Force Academy, and Harindra Arsandho Tegarbaja of the Police Academy.
