TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Joko Widodo (Jokowi) gives his support to former governor and contender Fauzi Bowo (Foke) as the Indonesian ambassador for Germany. Jokowi said Foke deserves the position.
Previously, Commission I at the House of Representatives declared Foke, along with 21 other applicants, proper to be the ambassador candidate. Jokowi believes Foke’s experience during his time in Germany meets the required capacity of an ambassador.
Foke, former Jakarta Governor, has spent his time at Universitet Braunschweig and Universitet Kaiserslautern for study purpose. "He is ready," Jokowi said.
