Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has initiated an unusual bonding exercise for his new cabinet members by organizing a military-style retreat in Central Java. Over 100 government officials participated, donning camouflage outfits and engaging in briefings and activities led by Prabowo, a former special forces commander.

The retreat emphasized discipline and unity, with Prabowo urging ministers to operate cohesively for national progress. The president insisted the military approach was about fostering loyalty to Indonesia, not to himself, emphasizing teamwork among his diverse cabinet members.

With a vast cabinet of 48 ministers and 56 deputies, Prabowo's approach reflects his military roots while aiming to build a unified government front to address economic growth and corruption. The retreat is seen as a step towards unifying a cabinet rich in experience across political, military, business, and religious sectors.
