Prabowo reshuffles Indonesia’s cabinet with new foreign minister
The second senior cabinet change in under three weeks named Arrmanatha Nasir foreign minister and created a new cabinet role for coordinating political and security affairs.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has launched another cabinet reshuffle, signaling an urgent effort to address criticism and dipping ratings by appointing experienced technocrats and trusted figures to key posts, according to SCMP Economy.
In the changes, Prabowo named Arrmanatha Nasir, who previously served as Indonesia’s permanent representative to the United Nations, as foreign minister. Sugiono was appointed coordinating minister for human development.
The reshuffle also moved other ministries and roles, with Muhammad Sarmuji named minister of industry, replacing Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita. Dudung Abdurachman was assigned coordinating minister for political and security affairs, while Bahlil Lahadalia became coordinating minister for downstreaming and the energy transition in a newly created cabinet position.
