JAKARTA - President Joko Widodo assessed that the tweet of the 6th president of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) who shared his dream on Twitter was a good thing because the former president together built this country.

"Yes, that's good. If the presidents, former presidents, work together, together to build this country, yes, that's our dream. We all dream," said President Jokowi after reviewing the Freeport Gresik smelter, East Java, Tuesday.

President Jokowi's statement was in response to the 6th president of the Republic of Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) who recounted the moment he dreamed of picking up the 5th president of the Republic of Indonesia Megawati Soekarnoputri with the President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo to take the Gajayana train together from Gambir Station, Jakarta.

The moment of his dream was uploaded by SBY on his personal Twitter account @SBYudhoyono in Jakarta, Monday (19/6), which was also confirmed by the Coordinator of the Democratic Party Spokesperson Herzaky Mahendra Putra when confirmed, Monday (19/6).

"1. I dreamed that one day Pak Jokowi came to my house in Cikeas to then together pick up Mrs. Megawati at her residence. Then the three of us headed to Gambir Station. *SBY*," SBY said in a tweet.

The writing *SBY* is a sign that the tweet was written directly by Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who is currently the Chairman of the High Council of the Democratic Party.

"2. At Gambir Station, he is waiting for the 8th President of Indonesia and he has bought a train ticket for Gajayana towards Central Java and East Java. Because there is still time, for a moment the four of us were drinking coffee while chatting casually. *SBY*," said the 6th president of the Republic of Indonesia.

Indonesia will elect the 8th president during the 2024 Presidential Election (Pilpres) on February 14, 2024. He, who will later be elected, will replace the 7th president of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo.

"3. After that, the three of us took the Gajayana train which was ready to go to our destination. On the way, we greeted the Indonesian people warmly. The people we once led with sincerity. Leading a nation that was never empty of challenges. *SBY*," said SBY as uploaded on his Twitter account.

"4. Arriving in Solo, Pak Jokowi and I got off the train. Pak Jokowi returned to his residence, I continued to go to Pacitan by bus. Meanwhile, Megawati continued her journey to Blitar for a pilgrimage to Bung Karno's grave. *SBY*," concluded SBY.

Pacitan in East Java is the birthplace of SBY, and in that place SBY built the SBY*ANI Museum and Art Gallery, which is used to store SBY's life journey collection, works of art, including photos of his late wife, Ani Yudhoyono.
