Indonesia's new President Prabowo Subianto will take his cabinet members on a three-day retreat at a military academy nestled in a Javanese mountain range, where they will sleep in tents, an unusual start for a government in the Southeast Asian country.

Prabowo Subianto has been sworn in as Indonesia's eighth president. This completes his journey from an ex-general accused of rights abuses during the dark days of Indonesia’s military dictatorship to the presidential palace.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's newly appointed cabinet is a mix of experienced and fresh faces. It includes individuals from political and professional backgrounds, some of whom continued from Joko Widodo's administration.
