JAKARTA - East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa hopes that there will be a retreat for elected deputy regional heads in order to maximize strategic partnerships with regional heads.

This proposal was submitted by Khofifah because the retreat would later be focused on the regional head, while the deputy regional head was only present at the time of closure.

I asked earlier (to the Ministry of Home Affairs) this is indeed only the regional head. The new closure is with waka (deputy regional head). Actually, hopefully, there will be the next stage for waka because in my opinion, strategic partnerships between regional heads and waka are very important for us to be able to spur productivity in each region," he said after a health check at the Ministry of Home Affairs Office (Kemendagri), Jakarta, Antara, Sunday, February 16.

According to Khofifah, the briefing provided in the series of retreats is not only important for regional heads, but also for their representatives. Moreover, there is the development of new ministries and agencies as well as for anticipation and mitigation of global dynamics.

On the other hand, Khofifah assessed that the elected governor and deputy governor need to interact with the regent and mayor and their representatives. He believes that this interaction can occur through the retreat which will be held at the Military Academy in Magelang, Central Java.

"In my opinion, it is still important to obtain the briefing, both regional heads and deputy regional heads. Hopefully, this opportunity will also be given to representatives of regional heads, both provincial and district/city," he said.

The incumbent East Java Governor welcomed the implementation of the regional head retreat. In addition to being an introductory momentum and fostering togetherness, the retreat is also considered to be a means of understanding macro and micro-government policies.

Through the retreat, said Khofifah, regional heads can understand more comprehensively the central government's policy to be coordinated and further intensified by local governments.

How about synergy with other provinces. But, there are also policies related to global dynamics. I think things like this, this dynamic, will be very important to know by regional heads, both provinces and districts/cities," he continued.

At the same location, Jakarta's elected deputy governor Rano Karno or Si Doel said that the elected deputy regional head was only present at the closing of the retreat on Friday (28/2). The deputy regional head is required to attend one day before the closing, precisely on Thursday (27/2).

"Incidentally, the representative is required to attend on 27 [February] because to follow the closing of 28 [February], except for Mr. Governor (Governor), Mr. Gub was indeed from the start," said Doel.

The simultaneous inauguration of the elected regional head of the 2024 Pilkada results is scheduled for Thursday (20/2). After that, regional heads took part in a retreat at the Military Academy of Magelang, Central Java from Friday (21/2) to Friday (28/2).
