Chairman of the PDI-P (PDIP) Megawati Soekarnoputri requested that fertile land in the country not be converted into other land for commercial purposes.

This request was conveyed by the 5th President of the Republic of Indonesia before President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) who was present at the opening of the PDIP National Working Meeting at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta today, Friday, September 29. Megawati said that the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) had made a map of fertile land in Indonesia.

"In this place, I want to ask a little so that in the regulations, the fertile lands cannot be converted by the President," said Megawati.

Megawati also said that spatial policy politics must be considered. "We (BRIN, ed) have made a map of Indonesia for fertile lands," he said.

Receiving the request, President Jokowi, who was sitting in the front row of invited guests, seemed to nod. He is known to be present at the PDIP National Working Meeting with Vice President Ma'ruf Amin and ministers in the Advanced Indonesia Cabinet, one of which is Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud MD.

Previously reported, PDIP held the Rakernas IV for three days starting September 29-1 October. The activity took the theme 'Food Sovereignty for the Welfare of the Indonesian People's People's Welfare' with the sub-themed 'Pangan as the Symbol of the Predemic of Indonesian Leadership for the World'.

Megawati emphasized that this theme was not due to the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres). He said, PDIP does focus on food problems so that Indonesia can be sovereign and stand on its own feet or independent.
