In the Q&A session, Ganjar posed a question to Prabowo: "Our Global Militarisation Index, sourced from the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies, has fallen. Our military capabilities, according to the Lowy Institute Asia Power Index, have fallen. The proportion of our defense budget, sourced from the IISS Military Balance Plus, has fallen. Why have these declines occurred, and what is the solution?"
