According to Prabowo, Cardinal Suharyo has given advice that would be helpful for not just the Catholics, but also all Indonesians, ahead of the February election.
“Cardinal Suharyo has given some advice. But we believe this advice is not only good for the Catholics, but also all Indonesians,” Prabowo said.
Prabowo then thanked KWI for hosting him. The candidate also told the KWI that he would uphold unity.
