"We have an agenda that has been arranged, from June 10 to 13 we will (implement, ed) the second National Working Meeting," Hasto told reporters at Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta, Friday, May 20.

PDIP, continued Hasto, actually held this kind of activity every year to coordinate with its cadres. The goal, so that they can work optimally to deal with problems that exist in society.

In addition, the National Coordination Meeting will be held early next month, and will also discuss a number of things. One of them, said Hasto, relates to the party's future strategy.

However, he did not elaborate further on whether the National Working Meeting would discuss the presidential and vice-presidential candidates who would be promoted in the 2024 Presidential Election.
