Chairman of Kadin 2021-2026 Arsjad Rasjid said he and the Chairman of Kadin from the 2024 Munaslub Anindya Bakrie had agreed on a strategic solution according to the Articles of Association/Household Budget (AD/ART), after a meeting brokered by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia on Friday night, September 27.

"The solution reached at this meeting confirms the commitment to stick to organizational rules, especially the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Articles of Association (AD/ART) and Presidential Decree No. 18/2022," said Arsjad quoting Antara.

The agreement, called Arsjad, was the result of deliberation with the spirit of togetherness to complete internal dynamics and fight for national economic progress.

Kadin, he said, both at the central and regional levels, will continue to play a role as a strategic partner of the government in encouraging inclusive, sustainable and just economic growth.

Previously, a video circulated on Friday night regarding Arsjad and Anindya's meeting brokered by the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia. Deputy Head of Organization, Law and Communication Affairs of Kadin Yukki Nugrahawa when contacted by ANTARA confirmed the meeting.

In the meeting on Friday night, Bahlil embraced Arsjad and Anindya, and said that both sides had forgiven each other.

"This is my friend Pak Arsjad and Pak Anin and both of them have been affected to run a good organization and both of them have patents, we have met and we have forgiven each other and we think that in the future Kadin should be better and we will all run it," said Bahlil.

Then, Anindya in the video said that together, Kadin would be better in the future.

"Hopefully Kadin will progress, what we have done is good, and together we will make it even better," he said.

The Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry held the 2024 Munaslub on September 14, 2024, which decided Anindya Bakrie to become the General Chair of the 2024-2029 Chamber of Commerce and Industry replacing Arsjad Rasjid. However, Arsjad Rasjid's party called the holding of the Munaslub illegal and illegal. Arsjad Rasjid has also written to President Jokowi regarding the Munaslub.

Arsjad Rasjid stated that the Munaslub who appointed Anindya Bakrie as general chairman was invalid because he violated the Chamber of Commerce and Industry's AD/ART and was rejected by 21 Provincial Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
