BOGOR - The palace confirmed that the meeting between Didit Hediprasetyo and the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia Joko Widodo in Solo did not carry a political agenda or a special message from President Prabowo Subianto.

The statement was made by Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi when answering a journalist's question in Hambalang, Bogor, Friday, June 19.

According to Prasetyo, the meeting was purely a social gathering.

"Silaturahmi. Silaturahmi lah," kata Prasetyo.

He explained that at that time Didit was indeed in Solo, coinciding with the momentum of the Islamic New Year 1 Muharram.

"It just so happens that he was in Solo because of one Muharram yesterday, yes, a meeting," he said.

Prasetyo also denied that there was a special message that President Prabowo had given to Didit to convey to Jokowi.

When asked if there was a message from the President that was brought by Didit in the meeting, Prasetyo answered briefly.

"No, no," he said.

The statement also dampened various speculations that emerged after Didit and Jokowi's meeting became a public concern in recent days.

The palace confirmed that the agenda was a family meeting and was not related to political messages or government affairs.
