JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said that only President Joko Widodo as the leader of the country had successfully held a meeting with the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, in the near future.
Therefore, Airlangga assessed that Jokowi's peace mission to a country at war could not be called a failure. Even though, after Jokowi's meeting, Russia continued to attack Ukraine.
"No state leader will be accepted by both parties in the near future. Only Mr. Jokowi. So, it shows that the two warring leaders accept Mr. Jokowi's presence," Airlangga told reporters on Monday, July 4.
In addition, Airlangga emphasized that the main thing that Jokowi brought in his meeting with Zelensky, then the meeting with Putin, was related to the availability of world food.
"Mr. President's message is that the existing food, both wheat and fertilizer, can be released globally. So, global food security can be maintained. Of course it is part of the peace process. And the peace process, right, is a process that goes on continuously, not instantaneously So, this is a good start," said Airlangga.
It is known that President Jokowi arrived in Russia, Thursday, June 30, 2022, aboard the Garuda Indonesia GIA-1 aircraft which landed at Vnukovo II Airport at around 11.00 local time. The day before, Jokowi had just met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Maryinsky Palace, Kyiv.
In a meeting with the two leaders of countries in conflict, Jokowi conveyed a message from President Volodymyr Zelensky to President Vladimir Putin, expressing his readiness to become a link in communication between the two leaders, and reiterating the importance of a peaceful resolution of the conflicts that occurred when he met at the Kremlin, Moscow.
"I conveyed a message from President Zelensky to President Putin and expressed my readiness to establish communication between the two leaders," said President Jokowi, launching Kremlin.ru.
