JAKARTA, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Indonesian President Joko Widodo has inaugurated two new ministers in the Indonesia Maju Cabinet to lead the country for the next eight months.

Inaugurated on Wednesday at the State Palace in Jakarta, the two were Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Hadi Tjahjanto, as well as Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning Affairs/Head of the National Land Agency Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono.

Tjahjanto, former commander of the Indonesian national army and former minister of agrarian and spatial planning affairs/head of the National Land Agency, replaces Mahfud MD who resigned when he was a vice presidential candidate in the recent general election.

Starting work in October 2019, the Indonesia Maju Cabinet will end in October this year.
