In Central Halmahera, the President inaugurated the first export of electric vehicle batteries and launched 11 downstream industrial projects at the Indonesia Weda Bay Industrial Park (IWIP), representing approximately US$10.2 billion in value. Of these 11 projects, four are entering commercial operations while seven are new constructions.

Simultaneously, President Prabowo held briefings for 800 senior officers from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) and the National Police (Polri) at the Presidential Palace. These sessions were designed to strengthen institutional synergy and prepare for complex global threats, such as cyber, information, and hybrid warfare.
