President Prabowo Scheduled to Open 35th NU Congress in Jombang

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to attend the opening ceremony of the 35th Muktamar (Congress) of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), set to be held in Tambakberas, Jombang Regency, East Java, on July 26. The NU is Indonesia's largest Islamic organization, and its Muktamar is a crucial event where its leadership gathers to discuss future strategies and organizational management. The President's attendance at the opening ceremony suggests the government's commitment to maintaining good relations with the NU and its recognition of the organization's significant societal influence. This year's Muktamar will take place in Tambakberas, a location deeply connected to NU's history and considered one of its spiritual pillars. The President's participation is likely to take into account this historical context. President Prabowo's attendance at the NU Muktamar is seen as a significant political move aimed at strengthening ties with the domestic Islamic community and fostering national unity. This could mark his first participation in a major NU event since assuming the presidency, drawing considerable attention. Source: Sindonews
