VOINews, Jakarta - The Presidential Staff Office (KSP) has released the 2023 Performance and Achievement Report of the administration of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin.

"In this report, we emphasize this nation's spirit of determination and mutual cooperation because that is how Indonesia can get through everything (including the COVID-19 pandemic)," KSP chief Moeldoko said at the report's launch here on Tuesday.

The report, which was prepared by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the ANTARA News Agency, highlights the foundation built by the government to achieve the goal of making Indonesia an advanced country.

Moeldoko listed five strategies that the government is using to strengthen efforts to make Indonesia a developed country, namely, the development of human resources as well as infrastructure, bureaucratic reform, economic transformation, and regulatory improvement.

"For the past nine years, we have maintained our stability well; (this is important) because without good stability, don't dream of investment coming in. We need to maintain public and international trust," he said.

With the help of various strategies carried out by the government, Moeldoko said, Indonesia has become an upper-middle-income country from a middle-income country.

Based on World Bank data, Indonesia's gross national income (GNI) increased by 9.8 percent to US$4,580 in 2022.

This achievement, Moeldoko said, was supported by the effective handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic recovery program, and the economic transformation through the downstreaming of natural resources, among other factors.

Meanwhile, Indonesia is said to be "back on the world map" in world diplomacy and foreign policy.

Indonesia's strong diplomacy has been demonstrated during President Widodo's leadership of the G20, ASEAN, and the AIS Forum, as well as Indonesia's role in the UN Security Council and the UN Human Rights Council.

"All give a clear indication that other countries praise and trust Indonesia," Moeldoko said. (Antaranews)
