World : Prabowo Reshuffles Cabinet, Names New Foreign, Political-Security Minister

JAKARTA, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on Thursday reshuffled his Cabinet, appointing a new foreign minister and coordinating ministers for political and security affairs as well as downstreaming and energy transition, alongside a change in the country’s National Police leadership.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has unveiled a substantial Cabinet reshuffle, naming new foreign and industry ministers alongside other key officials. Arrmanatha Nasir assumes the position of Foreign Minister, replacing Sugiono, who now holds the role of Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture. Meanwhile, Muhammad Sarmuji is appointed Minister of Industry, taking over from Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita.

Presidential Chief of Staff Dudung Abdurachman will serve as Coordinating Minister for Political and Security Affairs, while Bahlil Lahadalia is named Coordinating Minister for Downstreaming and Energy Transition, a newly created post, in which he will retain his position as Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources. Additionally, Prabowo replaced the country's police chief with Suyudi Ario Seto, the leader of the National Narcotics Agency, who also assumes the role of Executive Office of the President.

These changes were implemented less than three weeks after Prabowo dismissed former Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa and promoted his deputy, Suahasil Nazara, to the Finance Ministry.
