  "account": "Indonesian Ministry of Defense has announced that the aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi, now known as KRI Gajah Mada, will arrive in Jakarta on September 19, 2026. Departing from Italy since late August, the vessel is currently en route. Brig. Gen. Rico Ricardo Sirait, Head of the Defense Information Bureau, confirmed the arrival date via WhatsApp on September 4, 2026. Approximately 400 personnel, including Indonesian Navy sailors already on board, will crew the ship. These Indonesian sailors aim to aid in training and operational familiarization for future command of the vessel. Specific plans for the carrier's appearance in the upcoming Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) anniversary series will be revealed once the final schedule is confirmed. The journey to Indonesia will span about three weeks, with the ship passing through the Suez Canal and stopping at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and Colombo, Sri Lanka. The acceptance of the Giuseppe Garibaldi aircraft carrier by Indonesia was approved by the House of Representatives (DPR) Commission I on July 20, 2026, as a grant from the Italian government. This approval, under Law No. 17/2003, requires parliamentary consent.",
