Jakarta (ANTARA) - Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia provided some hints about the ministerial portfolio he may hold in Prabowo Subianto-Gibran Rakabuming Raka's Cabinet."It is not far from what I have been doing for almost five years," he told the press after meeting President-elect Prabowo Subianto at his residence in Jakarta on Monday.

Before being appointed as Energy and Mineral Resources Minister by President Joko Widodo in August 2024, Lahadalia served as Minister of Investment in the Cabinet.

Lahadalia, who is also serving as leader of the Golkar Party, said that during his meeting with Prabowo, they not only discussed the ministerial position but also the utilization of resources and state sovereignty.

However, the minister refused to tell the media about the ministerial position he would hold during Prabowo's presidency.

On Monday, several professionals, politicians, as well as ministers from Widodo's Cabinet visited Prabowo's residence in South Jakarta's Kartanegara IV area.

Besides Lahadalia, the ministers seen at Prabowo's residence included Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), Trade Minister Zulkifli Hasan, Home Affairs Minister Tito Karnavian, and Industry Minister Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita.
