Sri Mulyani expected the meeting would conclude solutions on dealing with disasters and its financing. “I hope this meeting will create a tri-assurance system,” she added.
The former managing director of the World Bank continued to say the meeting was expected to establish a map, structure, and financing system to be developed and studied in Indonesia, especially on managing the disaster risk.
