JAKARTA - Secretary General of the PDI-P (PDIP) Hasto Kristiyanto said his party continues to establish communication with political parties ahead of the 2024 General Election (Pemilu).

The team has moved to contact a number of parties such as the Gerindra Party to the National Mandate Party (PAN).

This inter-party meeting, continued Hasto, will be held after the PDIP meets the NasDem Party on Monday, August 22.

"Yes, we will continue to communicate later, an advance team has been formed so that someone contacted Gerindra, Golkar, PKB PPP, PAN and others," Hasto told reporters in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, Sunday, August 21.

Furthermore, Hasto talked about the PDIP's first political safari to visit the NasDem Party.

At the meeting, he said, PDIP would be represented by him along with the Chairperson of the PDIP DPP who also serves as DPR RI Chair Puan Maharani, PDIP General Treasurer Olly Dondokambey, and PDIP Election Body (Bappilu) Chair Bambang Wuryanto or Bambang Pacul.

Later, there will be a number of discussions that will be carried out. Including, national issues and consolidation for the 2024 General Election.

In addition, PDIP deliberately went to NasDem Tower because they had never been there.

In fact, the office is close to the residence of PDIP General Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri on Jalan Teuku Umar, Central Jakarta.

"After moving this, actually the backyard of Bu Mega in Teuku Umar was the Nasdem office, more because of the proximity of the Nasdem office," he said.

Previously, PDIP DPP Chair Puan Maharani said her party would start its political safari. The first meeting, the party bearing the bull symbol will meet the NasDem Party created by Surya Paloh.

"God willing, tomorrow we will meet Pak Surya Paloh," said Puan to reporters in the Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) area, Central Jakarta, Sunday, August 21.

Puan hopes that the meeting of the two parties will run smoothly. So, both of them can build Indonesia together.

"Follow me and how the meeting goes. God willing, (tomorrow, ed) it can go well and smoothly and the friendship is family to build a better Indonesia," said the chairman of the DPR RI.

The meeting, continued Puan, will be held at NasDem Tower, Gondangdia, Central Jakarta.

"Pak Surya is my senior, my uncle, a friend of my parents, so I came to NasDem Tower," concluded Puan.
