“The development of
our defense under President Yudhoyono’s leadership has been very strong. I
think this deserves people’s appreciation and the program should be continued
by the next government,” Purnomo told The Jakarta Post.
The minister added
that the successor of Yudhoyono, who will end his second tenure in office in
October, should also continue to strengthen Indonesia’s position as a regional
power and increase the country’s leverage globally.
“You cannot have soft
power without the backing of effective hard power,” Purnomo said.
The MEF is a
multi-year concept to develop the TNI’s posture since 2010. Since then, the
government has continued to modernize the military’s weaponry in accordance
with the economic situation.
Indonesia is targeting
the purchase of 128 military aircraft and 12 submarines by 2024.
During the opening of
the 2014 National Development Planning Conference (Musrenbangnas) in Jakarta on
Wednesday, Yudhoyono applauded the implementation of MEF programs.
The President also
said Indonesia would continue to participate in UN peacekeeping forces, with a
target of being one of the world’s top ten contributors of troops to the UN.
