Speaking on Tuesday, KPK spokesperson Budi Prasetyo said any decision to summon witnesses would depend on investigators' needs rather than an individual's employment status.
In a statement released on 19 July 2026, the alliance identified several government policies that it believes have worsened the situation for LGBT communities.
However, the organisation said achieving that potential will depend on the quality of leadership rather than technology alone.

TheIndonesia.co - Indonesia and Uzbekistan have reaffirmed the significance of state visits by their leaders in a joint statement issued by Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi (Sugiono) and Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov on Wednesday. The statement followed the Second Meeting of the Indonesia-Uzbekistan Joint Commission for Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC) held from February 10 to 11.
Both ministers emphasized the role of high-level visits in enhancing diplomatic relations and called for continued collaboration through key mechanisms, including the joint commission, the bilateral consultative committee, and regular senior-level meetings, according to Antara News Agency.
The statement highlighted the history of productive consultations between the two nations, such as the 8th Bilateral Consultative Committee Meeting in 2020, and noted the recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in September 2024 to formalize the Bilateral Consultative Committee, laying the groundwork for further strengthening ties.
The ministers also recognized the increasing frequency of high-level meetings between officials, citing examples such as former Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s meeting with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev at COP-28 in Dubai in 2023, as well as visits by former Vice President Ma’ruf Amin and the foreign ministers' meetings in Doha and New York.
Sugiono and Saidov agreed on further enhancing cooperation in consular, economic, social, and cultural sectors, alongside addressing regional and international issues. Saidov’s visit to Jakarta, which included meetings with several Indonesian officials, marks a continued commitment to fostering strong bilateral relations between the two countries.
