JAKARTA - The chairman of the NasDem Party DPP, Willy Aditya, revealed the topic of discussion at the meeting of the General Chair of the NasDem Party, SuryaPaloh and President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) some time ago. Willy said the two discussed the issue of the capital city of the archipelago (IKN).

Willy initially mentioned Surya Paloh and Jokowi's friendship. Although they had different views in the 2024 presidential election, their communication was still disbursed after the election was over.

"After the election, there was a gap, during the election there was friction, but after the election the situation was disbursed. That's what shows Pak Surya Paloh is moral in making friends," said Willy, Monday, June 24.

One of the conversations at the meeting was related to the construction of the capital city of the archipelago (IKN). Willy said that the IKN development was included in the NasDem pre-congress agenda.

"There are big agendas that are concerned about how the economic growth of the IKN agenda is. Friends can imagine NasDem before the pre-congress making an agenda for how to realize IKN to be included in the pre-congressional. We break down we invite groups of interests, we create a series of renovations. How then continue development. As a political obligation and moral obligation. You can imagine," he explained.

Willy also denied that the meeting was speculated as a step by President Jokowi in approaching political parties ahead of the 2024 Simultaneous Pilkada.

"Pure's agenda is to discuss, have a dialogue, that's what we need, one of which is how to build IKN," he said.

Previously, the Chairman of the NasDem Party, Surya Paloh, admitted that he had a meeting with President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) two weeks ago. Palohtak mentioned the location of their meeting.

He also denied that the meeting with President Jokowi discussed the 2024 Pilkada and the composition of the Prabowo-Gibran cabinet.

"Talk lightly, let each other take care of their health," said Paloh.
