Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto and Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka arrived at Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Monday for Indonesia’s 81st Independence Day commemoration.
Prabowo wore traditional national attire featuring a blue top and trousers, a brown-toned songket cloth and black cap as he received the ceremony commander’s report.
Gibran wore a traditional black outfit from East Nusa Tenggara for the ceremony.
Seventeen cannon blasts from the direction of the National Monument, accompanied by a long siren, marked the start of the ceremony in Merdeka Palace’s courtyard.
Prabowo was scheduled to read the Proclamation Text, which independence leader Soekarno declared 81 years ago to proclaim Indonesia’s independence.
Before the ceremony, the Heritage Flag and Proclamation Text arrived after being paraded from the National Monument to Merdeka Palace aboard the Garuda Prabayaksa royal carriage.
The 2025 Purnapaskibraka Duta Pancasila carried the Heritage Flag and Proclamation Text during the parade to Merdeka Palace.
The Garuda Prabayaksa carriage previously transported Sultana Najwa, a student of SMAN 82 Jakarta, who carried the Heritage Flag.
Aliah Sakira, a student of SMAN 14 Makassar, was entrusted with carrying the Proclamation Text during the ceremony.
The Paskibraka team assigned to Merdeka Palace for the 2026 ceremony is named “Indonesia Berdaulat,” or “Sovereign Indonesia.”
Celina Olivia Apriani Theo, a student of State Vocational School 5 in West Kalimantan, was appointed as the bearer of the Red and White Flag.
The parade to Merdeka Palace was part of events marking Indonesia’s 81st Independence Day, themed “Sovereign, Just, and Prosperous Indonesia.”
