According to Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Commissioner Susatyo Purnomo Condro, this arrest was part of regular patrols aimed at stopping potential street fights before they happen. During the stop, officers seized five sickles, one machete, a cellphone, and a sack full of glass bottles from the teens.

Motorcycle Gang Causes Chaos in Cirebon – 9 Arrested, Police Seize Weapons and Molotov Cocktails

Motorcycle Gang Causes Chaos in Cirebon – 9 Arrested, Police Seize Weapons and Molotov Cocktails.

Residents of Weru District in Cirebon were recently shaken by the violent actions of a local motorcycle gang known as the Plumbon Gangster. The group caused a stir in the early hours of Wednesday (June 4), launching attacks and damaging property. Fortunately, a joint operation by the Cirebon Police and West Java Police's criminal investigation unit led to the swift arrest of nine individuals involved.

This wasn’t just some random mischief — these gang members brought chaos with stone-throwing, property damage, and even Molotov cocktails.

Mistaken Identity Turns Violent

It all started when the gang reportedly mistook a passing couple for members of a rival group. Enraged and frustrated after failing to catch them, the gang vented by throwing stones at a nearby house in Tumaritis neighborhood, Megu Gede village.

“They smashed a house window by throwing rocks at it,” said Cirebon Police Chief Kombes Pol Sumarni during a press briefing on Saturday (June 7).

The homeowner, Sugianto, a local entrepreneur, suffered damages costing around IDR 600,000 (roughly $37). But more than just financial loss, the incident left the community anxious and disturbed.

Weapons and Molotov Cocktails Found in Raid

Two days after the attack, the police raided a location in Karangmulya village, Plumbon District, and arrested several suspects. One of the homes searched belonged to BK, where officers discovered two machetes, a long-blade weapon known locally as a “martin,” and even Molotov cocktails.

“With weapons and Molotovs found, this clearly goes beyond teenage mischief. This is serious criminal behavior,” emphasized the police chief.

The Suspects: Young and Dangerous

Police have identified the roles of each of the nine suspects. Some were responsible for throwing rocks and Molotovs, while others were found in possession of sharp weapons. Shockingly, many of them are still teenagers — some as young as 16.

Here’s a breakdown of the suspects and their roles:

• YSW (16): made and threw Molotov cocktails

• AM (22): threw Molotovs and rocks

• IS (18): threw rocks at a local house

• MRF (18), BK (16), W (16): carried and stored sharp weapons

• YAA (19), MS (17), TR (20): participated in the chase and served as getaway riders

Facing Serious Charges

These individuals are now facing serious legal consequences under various laws, including:

• Emergency Law No. 12 of 1951 – Article 2 Paragraph 1 (possession of sharp weapons)

• Article 170 of the Criminal Code – group violence

• Article 406 of the Criminal Code – property destruction

• Article 200 of the Criminal Code – damage to buildings

The suspects are currently undergoing further legal proceedings.

Police Ramp Up Patrols and School Outreach

Chief Sumarni assured the public that the police will increase regular patrols and continue weekly visits to schools to educate students about the dangers of joining gangs or getting involved in street violence.

“We will take firm action against all forms of street violence and gangsterism. There’s no place for motorcycle gangs in Cirebon,” she stated.

She also called on parents to be more involved in monitoring their children’s activities, especially at night, and to foster a stronger understanding of the law at home.

Community Participation is Key

The police are encouraging the public to be vigilant and proactive in maintaining neighborhood safety. Residents are urged to report any suspicious gang-related activities immediately through the following contact points:

• 📞 Cirebon Police Call Center: 110

• 📱 WhatsApp Contacts for Reporting:

  • 0811-2497-497

  • 0813-8399-0986

  • 0811-2274-110

This gang incident in Weru is a wake-up call that motorcycle gang violence isn’t just about rebellious youth — it’s a serious threat to community safety. Let’s all work together, stay alert, and protect our neighborhoods. The future of our young people is too important to risk for gang affiliations and street violence.

How to Register Waqf Land in Indonesia – Make It Legal, Safe, and Beneficial for the Ummah

How to Register Waqf Land in Indonesia – Make It Legal, Safe, and Beneficial for the Ummah.

Jakarta – Great news for those who manage or own waqf land in Indonesia! In 2025, the Ministry of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning/National Land Agency (ATR/BPN) is setting an ambitious target: to officially register 561,909 plots of waqf land across the country.

This move is part of a larger commitment to provide legal certainty for waqf lands, ensuring they continue to serve religious and social purposes for the community – just like they were intended to.

Why Is Registering Waqf Land So Important?

Many people don’t realize that unregistered waqf land can be vulnerable to legal disputes or even misuse. Without legal documentation, land that was donated for the public good could end up in the wrong hands. By officially registering waqf land, you help protect its status, ensure its intended use, and honor the donor’s (wakif’s) original purpose.

So, How Do You Register Waqf Land? It’s Easier Than You Think!

If you’re a nazhir (waqf land manager) or have been granted the authority to act on behalf of one, you can go directly to your local Land Office (Kantor Pertanahan). Here’s what you’ll need to bring:

• A completed application form

• Your personal ID (KTP or equivalent)

• Proof of land ownership (like a deed or certificate)

• Waqf pledge deed or a notarized declaration of waqf

Here’s the best part: based on Ministerial Regulation No. 25 of 2016, all services related to waqf land registration are completely free. That means zero fees for land measurement, inspection, and initial registration – a strong sign of government support for religious and social land use.

Making It Even Easier: Digital Access and Simplified Processes

Worried about the process being complicated? Don’t be. ATR/BPN is constantly improving its services to make them more user-friendly. From simplifying the paperwork to offering assistance at Land Offices and through digital platforms, the goal is to make the whole experience efficient and accessible for everyone.

Don’t Wait – Secure Your Waqf Land Today!

Getting your waqf land certified doesn’t just protect it from legal issues – it ensures the land will be used exactly as the donor intended, benefitting generations to come.

If you're a nazhir or have waqf land under your care, now’s the time to act. Register it now, get it legally protected, and be a part of strengthening the future of your community.

Police Investigate Alleged Sexual Abuse by Special Ed Teacher in Ciputat: Student with Autism Reportedly Victimized

Police Investigate Alleged Sexual Abuse by Special Ed Teacher in Ciputat: Student with Autism Reportedly Victimized.

Residents of Ciputat, South Tangerang, are shaken by reports of alleged sexual abuse involving a special education (SLB) teacher accused of assaulting a student with special needs. The case is currently under active investigation by local police.

According to South Tangerang Police Public Relations Officer AKP Agil, the Criminal Investigation Unit has already begun following up on the report. “We've conducted a medical examination (visum) on the victim and obtained clarification from the person who filed the report,” Agil said, as reported by Antaranews on Wednesday (June 4, 2025).

The report was submitted by a parent, identified by the initials AL (45), who claims that his child, HP, a student with autism, was sexually abused by a teacher at the school.

“This case is still under further investigation by our Women and Children Protection Unit (PPA),” Agil explained.

The alleged perpetrator is a teacher with the initials FR. However, police have not disclosed detailed information about when or where the abuse took place, citing the ongoing nature of the investigation.

“We’ve already performed a visum on the victim and spoken with the person who reported the case,” he added.

Police also confirmed that they've questioned several witnesses as well as the suspect. “Yes, we’ve spoken with both the witnesses and the reported individual,” Agil said.

Meanwhile, Tri Purwanto, Head of the Women and Children Protection Agency (UPTD PPA) in South Tangerang, confirmed the report involving a student with autism who is believed to have been sexually assaulted. He stated that the agency has been actively supporting the victim.

“We’ve carried out all of our duties. Most recently, we conducted a psychological evaluation of the victim, and we’ve already submitted the results to the police,” Tri confirmed.

This case has drawn strong public attention, particularly because it involves a vulnerable child. Authorities are urging the public to allow the investigation to proceed fairly and to offer support to the victim and their family during this difficult time.

Everyone hopes that justice will be served and that the legal process runs transparently. Protecting children—especially those with special needs—must always be a top priority in educational settings. Let this case be a wake-up call to ensure the safety and well-being of all students moving forward.

12 Kg of Meth Found Adrift in Bangka Waters: Old Trick, Big Threat!

12 Kg of Meth Found Adrift in Bangka Waters: Old Trick, Big Threat!

12 Kg of Meth Found Adrift in Bangka Waters: Old Trick, Big Threat!

The Bangka Belitung (Babel) Regional Police made headlines again! This time, the Directorate of Water and Air Police (Ditpolairud) uncovered a shocking discovery off the coast of Belinyu, Bangka. But it wasn’t a fishing haul or a stranded boat—it was 12 kilograms of methamphetamine, floating without an owner.

Suspicious Package Leads to Major Drug Bust

It all started on May 21, 2025, when Ditpolairud officers received a tip about a suspicious object found in the waters of Belinyu. The team quickly followed up and headed to the scene.

Once there, they discovered multiple packages wrapped to look like tea products—clearly an attempt to mislead law enforcement. But inside? Not tea leaves—crystal meth.

17 Packages Found, 12 Filled with Meth

After carefully examining the packages, police found a total of 17. Of those, 12 were filled with meth and 5 were empty. What’s more shocking—they were hidden inside a freezer, apparently placed at specific GPS coordinates.

“These packages were most likely dropped off at a pre-agreed location, where a buyer would later pick them up. It’s a method to avoid face-to-face contact,” said Babel Police Chief, Inspector General Drs. Hendro Pandowo, M.Si., as reported by RRI on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.

Thanks to a fleet of 21 patrol boats constantly monitoring the area, the operation was intercepted before the packages could be picked up.

No Suspects Yet, But the Hunt is On

Although the drugs have been secured, police have yet to identify or arrest any suspects. The Ditpolairud team is actively working with the Provincial National Narcotics Agency (BNNP Babel) and Babel’s Narcotics Unit to track down everyone involved.

“This isn't a new method. We’ve seen this before in Indonesia—drug traffickers leave the goods at a certain spot, either on land or at sea, and someone else picks them up later. It’s a tactic used to dodge surveillance,” Hendro explained.

Massive Drug Haul, Estimated at $320,000

The total haul this time? A whopping 12 kilograms of meth, with an estimated street value of around Rp5 billion (roughly $320,000 USD). This case is yet another sign that Babel’s waters are still being exploited as a drug trafficking route.

“In a previous case, we seized 5 kilograms. So clearly, drug circulation in Babel’s coastal and island areas remains high. We're stepping up prevention efforts and strengthening coordination with other agencies,” Hendro added.

Same Old Trick, But Still Dangerous

This “ownerless meth” case is a big wake-up call. The no-contact handoff method is still being used, proving how traffickers adapt to avoid detection. Thankfully, the Babel Water Police were quick and smart, preventing the drugs from reaching the streets. But the job isn’t over—authorities are still chasing down the people behind it.

Let’s hope efforts to stop drug trafficking in the region continue to grow stronger. And remember—community awareness is key. If you see something suspicious, don’t stay silent. Reporting can make a real difference.

Aleix Espargaró’s Luxury Car Collection: From Sports Car to Rare Ferrari Hypercar

Aleix Espargaró’s Luxury Car Collection: From Sports Car to Rare Ferrari Hypercar.

If you’re a MotoGP fan, you definitely know the name Aleix Espargaró. But off the racetrack, the Aprilia rider has another adrenaline-fueled passion: collecting luxury cars. And his latest addition? A rare, high-performance Ferrari hypercar that only a select few can get their hands on.

A Ferrari Built for Speed and Style

The Ferrari Espargaró just added to his collection is no ordinary vehicle. This machine is a technical masterpiece—featuring reinforced internal components, titanium connecting rods, a lightweight crankshaft, and refined aerodynamics that all work together to deliver insane performance.

How insane? Try going from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 2.8 seconds, and hitting 200 km/h (124 mph) in only 7 seconds. On the track, this beast clocks a lap time of 1 minute 19 seconds at the Fiorano Circuit—three seconds faster than the standard Ferrari 296 GTB.

Exclusive Club Only

Here’s the catch—this Ferrari hypercar isn’t something you can just walk into a dealership and buy. It’s only available to Ferrari customers who’ve made a purchase within the last five years. Lucky for Aleix, he meets the criteria thanks to his previous ride: a Ferrari Portofino M, a 620-horsepower convertible that he customized personally for his partner.

A Special Moment in Maranello

During a recent visit to Maranello, the legendary home of Ferrari in Italy, Aleix made sure to stop by one of the brand’s most iconic landmarks—the historic house of Enzo Ferrari, located right by the Fiorano track. For Espargaró, a true fan of elite engineering and fast machines, it was a symbolic and unforgettable moment.

This wasn’t just about buying a flashy new car—it was about celebrating a deep love for precision mechanics, Italian automotive art, and the ultimate driving experience.

Aleix Espargaró isn’t just fast on the track—he’s got world-class taste in cars too. His latest Ferrari addition shows that his passion for speed extends well beyond MotoGP. For car enthusiasts and hypercar lovers alike, Aleix’s collection is pure inspiration and proof that true speed junkies never settle.

Ultimate Guide to Viral Telegram Groups in 2025: What You Need to Know Before Clicking Any Link

Ultimate Guide to Viral Telegram Groups in 2025: What You Need to Know Before Clicking Any Link.

In the fast-changing world of social media, Telegram has become one of the most popular platforms for sharing and discovering viral content. Whether you're into memes, anime, romantic K-Dramas, or even online dating groups, there's a Telegram group for just about everything. And if you've been online lately, you've probably seen links titled "Viral Telegram 2025" or "Pemersatu Bangsa" making the rounds.

But before you go on a clicking spree, this article will guide you through everything you need to know about these Telegram groups — what they are, how to join or avoid them safely, and what kind of risks you might be facing. If you're interested in creating your own Telegram group, we’ll cover that too.

What Are Viral Telegram Links?

Viral Telegram links are invitation URLs that lead to public or private Telegram groups or channels. These links are widely shared online through social media, forums, or messaging platforms like WhatsApp. The reason they're so popular is simple: they usually offer exclusive or hard-to-find content.

Some common types of viral Telegram groups include:

• Anime and K-pop content

• TikTok compilations

• Online dating or matchmaking groups

• Memes and funny videos

• Adult-only groups (18+)

• Downloadable media like movies, songs, and APKs

• Regional community chats

Terms like "Link Telegram Viral 2025," "Bokeh Telegram," or "Video Museum" are often used to attract attention.

Think Twice Before You Click

While curiosity is natural, not every viral Telegram link is worth joining. Many of these links lead to adult content or suspicious groups. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Read the group description to know what kind of content you’re joining.

2. If the group is for users 18 or older, respect the age restriction.

3. Avoid links that look suspicious or contain random characters.

4. Never share your personal details like phone numbers, passwords, or banking info.

5. Know how to leave or block a group in case you join something by mistake.

Examples of Viral Telegram Groups

For information purposes only, here are some categories that often trend:

• Online Dating or “Cari Jodoh” Groups

• Free Viral Telegram Groups 2025

• Video Museum Channels

• Subtitled Anime Channels

• Groups for funny content and meme sharing

• Groups labeled “18+” or “Pemersatu Bangsa”

• Telegram Movie Download Links

• Channels for romance GIFs or adult stickers

• Viral TikTok or Instagram video compilations

We do not encourage joining groups that share illegal or inappropriate content. Always use your judgment and respect Telegram’s community guidelines.

How to Create Your Own Viral Telegram Group

Starting your own Telegram group is a great idea if you want to build a community around your interests. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download Telegram from the App Store or Google Play.

2. Tap the pencil icon or “New Message” and select “New Group.”

3. Add at least one contact to create the group.

4. Name your group and upload a photo.

5. Tap the group name, then “Invite to Group via Link.”

6. Share that link on your blog, social media, or forums.

If your content is consistent and engaging, your group could go viral too.

How to Leave, Block, or Report a Telegram Group

If you find yourself in a group you didn’t intend to join or just feel uncomfortable, here’s what you can do:

To leave a group:

1. Open the chat.

2. Tap the group name at the top.

3. Scroll down and select “Leave Group.”

To block the group:
After leaving, you can also choose “Block” to avoid being added again.

To report a group:

1. Tap the three-dot menu at the top of the chat.

2. Select “Report.”

3. Choose a reason and submit your report to Telegram for review.

Dangers of Joining Viral Telegram Groups

Joining Telegram groups just because they’re trending can come with serious risks, especially if the content is explicit or shady.

Here are some common risks:

1. Exposure to disturbing content – Many adult groups share content that can be emotionally or psychologically harmful.

2. Scams and fake giveaways – Some groups trick users into sharing their data or sending money.

3. Malware or unsafe files – Avoid downloading APKs or documents from unknown groups.

4. Legal consequences – Some content may be illegal in your country. Viewing or sharing it could get you in trouble.

5. Reputation damage – Your Telegram activity may reflect on your personal or professional life.

6. Privacy leaks – Admins or members may collect your personal info.

7. Addiction – Constantly browsing "viral" or adult content can become a time-consuming habit.

How to Stay Safe While Using Telegram

You can enjoy Telegram without falling into risky traps. Here are some safety tips:

• Turn on two-step verification in Telegram settings.

• Avoid clicking on links from people you don’t know.

• Don’t install any files from unknown groups or sources.

• Never share sensitive information in a Telegram chat.

• Periodically review your joined groups and remove the ones you no longer use.

Telegram is a powerful and versatile app, but with so much content being shared every day, it’s easy to stumble into the wrong kind of group. Viral Telegram groups in 2025 are everywhere—some are useful, entertaining, or funny, while others are potentially harmful.

Use common sense, stay informed, and be cautious when exploring public groups or accepting invite links. And if you’re really curious, why not create a positive and meaningful group of your own?

Score Prediction for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew: Messi and Suarez Ready to Lead in MLS Clash

Robert Starling    Sunday, June 01, 2025    Comment   

Score Prediction for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew: Messi and Suarez Ready to Lead in MLS Clash

Score Prediction for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew: Messi and Suarez Ready to Lead in MLS Clash.

An exciting match is set to take place in Major League Soccer (MLS) on Sunday morning, June 1, 2025, at 06:30 AM (WIB) at Chase Stadium. Inter Miami CF will host Columbus Crew in a game that promises to be full of drama. Big names like Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez will lead the charge for the home team.

Before making any score predictions, let's take a closer look at the recent form of both teams.

Recent Performance of Inter Miami CF

Inter Miami's recent form has been a bit inconsistent. They were able to bounce back from a heavy loss to Orlando City with a solid win against CF Montreal. Here's how their last five matches went:

• May 29: Inter Miami 4-2 CF Montreal (Win)

• May 25: Philadelphia 3-3 Inter Miami (Draw)

• May 19: Inter Miami 0-3 Orlando City (Loss)

• May 15: San Jose 3-3 Inter Miami (Draw)

• May 11: Minnesota United 4-1 Inter Miami (Loss)

Despite the ups and downs, the presence of Messi and Suarez remains a key factor that could make all the difference on the field.

Recent Performance of Columbus Crew

On the other hand, Columbus Crew is known to be a tough team to beat but also struggles to secure wins. They have drawn more matches than they’ve won in their last five games. Here's a quick rundown:

• May 29: Columbus 2-2 Nashville SC (Draw)

• May 25: Charlotte FC 3-2 Columbus (Loss)

• May 18: Columbus 1-1 FC Cincinnati (Draw)

• May 15: CF Montreal 1-1 Columbus (Draw)

• May 11: Philadelphia 2-2 Columbus (Draw)

While Columbus is solid in the midfield, their finishing has been lacking, and they’ll need to be more clinical in front of goal to win this match.

Predicted Lineups

Inter Miami CF (likely formation: 4-3-1-2):
Goalkeeper: O. Ustari
Defenders: N. Allen, H. Martinez, M. Weigandt, M. Falcon
Midfielders: S. Busquets, T. Segovia, B. Cremaschi
Playmaker: T. Allende
Forwards: L. Messi, L. Suarez

Columbus Crew (likely formation: 4-2-3-1):
Goalkeeper: N. Hagen
Defenders: E. Cheberko, M. Farsi, M. Amundsen, S. Moreira
Midfielders: D. Nagbe, D. Gazdag, D. Chambost
Wingers: M. Arfsten, D. Rossi
Striker: I. Aliyu

Head-to-Head: Inter Miami Holds the Edge

Looking at the last five meetings between these two teams, Inter Miami has had the upper hand, winning three matches, drawing one, and losing one. This could give them a mental edge heading into the game:

• April 20, 2025: Columbus 0-1 Inter Miami

• October 3, 2024: Columbus 2-3 Inter Miami

• August 14, 2024: Columbus 3-2 Inter Miami

• June 20, 2024: Inter Miami 2-1 Columbus

• July 5, 2023: Inter Miami 2-2 Columbus

Score Prediction for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew

Given the recent performances of both teams, this match is expected to be tight. However, with Messi and Suarez in top form, Inter Miami has a slight advantage going into this one.

Our score prediction: Inter Miami 3-2 Columbus Crew

Columbus may cause some problems, but the individual quality of Miami's star players could be the deciding factor in this match.

Live Streaming Link for Inter Miami vs Columbus Crew

If you want to catch this exciting match live, you can watch it on Apple TV+.

Inter Miami may not be the most consistent team, but they have star power with Messi and Suarez leading the attack. Columbus Crew, while solid, will need to be more efficient in front of goal to stand a chance. Playing at home, Inter Miami is slightly favored to take all three points.

Desire Doue Makes History in Champions League Final: PSG’s 19-Year-Old Star Steals the Show

Desire Doue Makes History in Champions League Final: PSG’s 19-Year-Old Star Steals the Show

Desire Doue Makes History in Champions League Final: PSG’s 19-Year-Old Star Steals the Show.

Remember the name Desire Doue—because after the UEFA Champions League final, the whole world sure will. The 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) wonderkid delivered a jaw-dropping performance that made history, becoming the first player ever to be involved in three goals in a Champions League final.

Sparked the Night with Style

The magic started in the 12th minute. Doue showed incredible control and composure inside the box, spinning past a defender before laying off a slick assist to Achraf Hakimi, who slotted in the opener. Hakimi, out of respect for his former club Inter Milan, chose not to celebrate—but for Doue, that assist lit the spark.

Scored One Himself—Because Why Not?

Just eight minutes later, Doue doubled PSG’s lead. He fired a right-footed shot that deflected off Inter’s Federico Dimarco and rolled into the back of the net. Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer couldn’t do a thing. In just 20 minutes, Doue already had one assist and one goal. But he was just getting started.

Goal No. 2, Shirt Off, Celebration On

At the 63rd minute, the 19-year-old sealed the deal with his second goal of the night—PSG’s third overall. He ripped off his shirt and sprinted in celebration, fully aware that he had just made Champions League history. Not Messi, not Ronaldo, not Zidane—Doue is now the only player to contribute to three goals in a UCL final. Incredible.

PSG Dominated From Start to Finish

PSG wasn’t done. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth, making some history of his own, and fellow 19-year-old Senny Mayulu put the cherry on top with goal number five. But let’s be honest—this match was decided the moment Doue delivered that first assist. Inter just never recovered.

PSG Crowned Champions—Doue the Star of the Show

This wasn’t just a win—it was total domination. PSG is officially the UEFA Champions League winner, and Desire Doue? He’s now etched into football history books at just 19.

So if you haven’t been paying attention to this French talent, now’s the time. Because if he keeps playing like this, PSG and the French national team have one scary future ahead.

Macron and Prabowo Agree: France and Indonesia Share a Strong Partnership on Global Issues

Macron and Prabowo Agree: France and Indonesia Share a Strong Partnership on Global Issues.

Jakarta – During his state visit to Indonesia, French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his appreciation for the warm welcome from the Indonesian government and people. Speaking at a joint press conference with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto at the Merdeka Palace on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, Macron emphasized that Indonesia and France share similar views on many important global matters.

“I want to sincerely thank President Prabowo and the people of Indonesia for the incredible welcome we have received since this morning,” Macron said warmly at the start of his remarks.

United on Sovereignty and International Law

President Macron highlighted that both Indonesia and France have aligned perspectives on respecting national sovereignty, upholding international law, and rejecting double standards. He also reiterated France’s firm stance regarding the conflict in Ukraine and the humanitarian crises in Palestine and Israel.

Macron praised Indonesia’s active role in promoting peace efforts, emphasizing President Prabowo’s clear commitment and willingness to engage.

“I thank President Prabowo for his clear commitment and collaborative spirit,” Macron added.

Invitation to Collaborate on Ocean Issues

On international cooperation, Macron stressed the importance of protecting the world’s oceans. He invited Indonesia to participate in the upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, offering a great opportunity to strengthen maritime collaboration between the two nations.

“We must work hand in hand, especially on ocean-related issues that are increasingly vital,” he said.

Strategic Cooperation in Defense and Energy Transition

Macron welcomed progress in strategic defense cooperation between Indonesia and France, including military equipment development. He also emphasized the importance of supply chain resilience and the transition to clean energy.

“France stands ready to support Indonesia’s energy transition. We have committed 450 million euros out of a 500 million euro package through ASEAN, including important projects in solar and hydrogen energy,” Macron explained.

Expanding Cultural, Educational, and Investment Ties

Macron also mentioned ongoing plans to expand cooperation in education and culture. He hopes this partnership will grow to cover many sectors, including increasing Indonesian investment in France.

“I am confident our cooperation can extend to various fields, including those that directly impact people’s daily lives,” he said.

Support for Indonesia’s Nutrition Program and Trade Deal

Macron expressed full support for two key Indonesian initiatives: the free nutritious meals program for school children and the completion of the Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). He sees these as vital steps toward a fairer and more balanced future for both sides.

France Stands with Indonesia

Closing his statement, Macron emphasized a simple but powerful message: despite the distance, France stands firmly with Indonesia. He sees both countries sharing the same vision for a just and balanced world order.

“My message is clear: France is on Indonesia’s side. We share the same ideas about the world,” Macron stressed.

As a final gesture, Macron extended a special invitation to President Prabowo to attend Bastille Day celebrations in Paris on July 14. He hopes Indonesian Armed Forces will join the parade alongside French troops as honored guests.

The meeting between President Macron and President Prabowo is more than symbolic. Their aligned strategic views create a strong foundation for long-term cooperation in defense, clean energy, culture, and education. This is great news for bilateral relations and the people of both nations.
