Coordinating Minister For Human Development And Culture: 2022 GPDRR Event Proves Indonesia Out Of The COVID-19 Pandemic

JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Empowerment for Human Development and Culture, Muhadjir Effendy, said the 2022 Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction (GPDRR) event has proven that Indonesia is out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This, according to Muhadjir, is a strategic target that the Indonesian government wants to achieve in the international event held in Nusa Dua, Bali.

"Our strategic target is to make GPDRR an event to show that Indonesia is out of the COVID-19 pandemic", said Muhadjir when met at BICC Nusa Dua, Bali, as reported by Antara, Monday, May 23.

Muhadjir also said that the easing of health protocols had been implemented at this event. He said the GPDRR was the first international event in Indonesia, which involved thousands of people after the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the 2022 GPDRR, the Indonesian government will also showcase good practices in disaster management in Indonesia to reduce disaster risk.

Because according to him, Indonesia is one of the countries that subscribe to disaster number 38 out of 181 countries that are often affected by disasters.

Later in the event, fellow delegates will share experiences with other countries, including especially Japan, which has now provided many examples, and aid from these countries will be inaugurated in Tanjung Benoa.

In addition, there is the practice of disaster stimulation, socialization, and education in disasters, as well as assisting disaster early warning.

"Then what is also important is to make us confident, and Indonesian visitors, especially tourists, so that they also know more and are more confident to come to Indonesia", he said.
