In his speech, he emphasized that the Rapbn was not only a development tool, but also had to be an instrument of economic defense amid dynamic geopolitical and geo -economic situations. “The 2026 budget year Rapbn must be a fiscal shield, as well as a motorcycle transformation that is in favor of the people based on economic independence, and is difficult to face the world dynamics,” Puan explained. Puan also asked the government to fill the position of the Indonesian ambassador who was still empty, one of which was the United States. He said it should be done to strengthen the Republic of Indonesia on the international arena. “The absence of the head of diplomatic representatives can delay strategic steps to protect Indonesian citizens and strengthen the position of Indonesia in the world arena,” he added.
