TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has again issued Presidential Decree (Keppres) Number 34 of 2024 concerning the delegation of presidential duties within the country to Vice President (Wapres), Gibran Rakabuming Raka, during his visit to Egypt and attendance at the D-8 Summit (KTT) on 17-19 December 2024. The Presidential Decree was signed by Prabowo on Monday, December 16, 2024.
Quoted by Antara, President Prabowo, in the consideration section of the presidential decree, explained that the assignment to Vice President Gibran aims to maintain the smooth running of government. The basis for issuing the Presidential Decree is based on Article 4 Paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and Law Number 30 of 2014 concerning Government Administration (State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia 2014 Number 292, State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5601).
Based on the Presidential Decree, if during the assignment period a new policy needs to be immediately determined, then the vice president as the acting president must first consult and seek the president's approval. In addition, based on the Presidential Decree, after the president returns to Indonesia, the assignment ends and the vice president immediately reports the implementation of the duties to the president.
Prabowo left for Egypt from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, Jakarta, on Tuesday morning, December 17, 2024, accompanied by Vice President Gibran and several ministers of the Red and White Cabinet.
Previously, Gibran had also been appointed by Prabowo as the interim head of government during a visit abroad on November 8, 2024. Gibran's appointment as Acting President was stipulated through Presidential Decree Number 31 of 2024. The Presidential Decree states that Gibran must consult with Prabowo when he wants to implement a new policy in carrying out the president's duties. Gibran must also obtain approval when making decisions and reporting duties to Prabowo.
"The Vice President will immediately report the implementation of these duties to the President," reads the third dictum of the Presidential Decree.
On Friday, November 8, 2024, Prabowo made his first overseas visit as President of Indonesia to China from Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base, East Jakarta. In addition to China, Prabowo also visited a number of countries, such as the United States, Peru, Brazil, and England. The former Minister of Defense will return to Indonesia on November 23, 2024.
Prabowo said that state visits such as to China and the United States and working visits to England are things that cannot be avoided. According to Prabowo, his overseas visits have strategic value. He also said that he must be involved in the negotiations for the APEC Summit in Peru, as well as the G20 Summit in Brazil to resolve crucial economic problems. Meanwhile, the APEC Summit in Peru will be held on November 13-16, 2024, while the G20 Summit in Brazil will be held on November 18-19, 2024. Due to the important international agenda for the Indonesian nation, President Prabowo handed over his state duties at that time to Vice President Gibran.
