Former President Joko Widodo, also known as Jokowi, has confirmed his attendance at Indonesia's 81st Independence Day commemoration. He accepted an invitation to attend the state event, stating, "Insha Allah, I will attend." Jokowi will also participate in the Annual Session of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR RI) on Friday, August 14, 2026, accepting the invitation as well.
