Both Jokowi and Loong discussed a plan to hold a leaders retreat between the two leaders in Singapore early December 2019, Retno said following the meeting.
"The leaders retreat will be held in the first week of December 2019 in Singapore," Retno said.
The meeting between Jokowi and Loong lasted in a short time because it took place before the plenary began, she said.
