The PAN and Gerindra politician talked for about an hour. After talking, Bima Arya and Dedi Mulyadi were seen walking around the Pakuan Holidays.

"Today is the arrival of people from Bogor. The former mayor of Bogor, two periods. We chatted while (eating) ulen, that's good if the tea is good," said Dedi.

Dedi assessed that Bima Arya was a leader with a foreign educational background, but did not forget his identity as a Sundanese.

"Kang Bima is a successful mayor. His education is Australian but he said Sundanya is still working," said the former Purwakarta Regent.

Asked about the match, Dedi said that with anyone it fits. "Yes, Alhamdulillah, if there are many who match. I'm with anyone who fits. With anyone who fits, in politics, yes," explained Dedi.

Meanwhile, Bima Arya admitted that the visit agenda was not only for friendship but also for exchanging ideas. Moreover, Dedi Mulyadi has a lot of experience in managing the village.

"So specifically to visit, stay in touch and exchange ideas a lot. Kang Dedi has experience managing villages, I have experience managing cities. We have many discussions about West Java in the future, like what is ideal for residents, what issues care for us together. Be fun," said Bima Arya.

In line with Dedi, Bima Arya admitted that he was ready if each of his parties assigned to form a coalition in the West Java Pilkada.

"We are patriots. We are asked to compete, we are competing. We are asked to side by side, yes we are also ready to side. As long as we are for the good of West Java, yes, whatever is ready, we are ready to side by side with anyone, yes we are ready," said Bima.

In addition to exchanging ideas, Bima Arya and Dedi Mulyadi also exchanged souvenirs. Bima Arya gave two tree seedlings, namely Duren black thorn from Pamoyanan, South Bogor and Pala tree seedlings from Muarasari, South Bogor. Not to forget typical Bogor Liong coffee.

Meanwhile, Dedi gave a cup and teapot to teh Bima.

"I'll also go to Bogor at the same time to Kang Bima. Hopefully I'll partner with the Bogor people later I'll go to Bogor. I'm single, partnering with Bogor people, there's no problem," said Dedi, laughing.
