Salfok With The Post Of Foreign Minister Retno With The British Foreign Minister, Warganet: Miss, The Shoes Are Cool

JAKARTA - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Retno Marsudi, is President Jokowi's mainstay for diplomatic affairs with the international community. Foreign Minister Retno's expertise has indeed been tested, so it is not surprising that she was again recalled as foreign minister during this period.

But Retno is not just diplomacy. Retno is also bold with fashion that may be 'out of the box' for many people.

Retno dared to follow a trend called missmatched shoes. Not really a new trend. But Retno dared to wear it at a formal event with President Jokowi at the Palace.

As the name suggests, this trend is to wear shoes instead of the same color. And this style was used when Retno welcomed the arrival of the British Foreign Minister, Liz Truss on Thursday 11 November.

Retno looks to appear with shoes of different colors, namely black on the front end. While the other shoe has a white color on the front end.

Even at the Bogor Palace on November 10 last. When President Joko Widodo welcomed the official visit of the Prime Minister (PM) of Malaysia, Dato' Sri Ismail Sabri bin Yaakob. This visit is PM Ismail Sabri's first official visit since he was sworn in on August 21, 2021.

PM Ismail Sabri arrived at the Bogor Palace at around 12.30 WIB and was immediately greeted by President Joko Widodo. The welcoming procession was then followed by an official welcoming ceremony with the sounding of the national anthems of the two countries and accompanied by the sound of cannons banging 19 times.

Jokowi then introduced Malaysian PM, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, State Secretary Pratikno, Finance Minister Sri Mulyani, and Education, Culture, Research and Technology Minister Nadiem Makarim.

And again, Retno wore the same type of shoes.

Actually, this is not the first time that Foreign Minister Retno wears shoes like that. October 8, 2021, Retno was also recorded wearing the same fashion. At that time, Retno wanted to accompany Jokowi to visit a number of locations that would be used in the G20 Summit. In 2022, Indonesia is trusted to host the grand meeting.

"Miss shoes are cool," wrote a netizen commenting on the foreign minister's post.

"Salfok and his shoes, Mrs. Minister of Foreign Affairs~ I hope it will bring fresh air to Indo, ma'am," continued another netizen.
