"Economic, digital, health, and renewable energy cooperation will be the focus of this discussion," said Retno in a written statement on March 16.
The President is accompanied by Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung, Protocol and Consular Affairs director general and Head of State Protocol Andy Rachmianto, Commander of the Presidential Security Detail (Paspampres) Major General Rafael Granada Baay, President’s personal secretary Anggit Noegroho, and Deputy for Protocol, Press and Media Secretariat of President Bey Machmudin
Jokowi departed for Singapore from the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force Base in Jakarta, aboard the Indonesia 1 Presidential Aircraft on Thursday morning at 07:00 WIB (Indonesian Western Time). The President will leave Singapore for South Kalimantan Province to attend a domestic ‘working meeting.’
