JAKARTA - President Jokowi officially spends the night in the Capital of the Archipelago (IKN) for the first time. Not wanting to waste the moment, towards midnight last night, Jokowi finally came out of his tent.
The air was cool and the weather was sunny that night, Monday, March 14, 2022. President Jokowi, who was seen wearing a red jacket with a G20 pattern and a sarong with a box pattern, came out of the tent where he was staying at around 22.15 WITA.
Jokowi's tent is adjacent to the tent belonging to the Chairman of the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly, Bambang Soesatyo. Jokowi then approached Bambang's tent.
The two of them had a light conversation until one by one the ministers who were staying at IKN came out of their respective tents.
"Thank God the air is cool at night, Mr. President, the weather is also clear so the full moon and stars can be seen," said MPR Chairman Bambang Soesatyo, quoted from a press release from the Palace.
Minister of SOEs Erick Thohir, Minister of Investment/Head of BKPM Bahlil Lahadalia, and Cabinet Secretary Pramono Anung all appeared to be wearing casual clothes. Even Ministers Bahlil and Erick, referring to the picture, are seen wearing 'one million people' swallow sandals. This is different with the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Basuki Hadimuljono. He was still wearing work clothes.
"Pak Basuki still works at night," said the President, to everyone's light laughter.
After discussing for about an hour, the President then returned to his tent followed by the Chairman of the MPR RI and the ministers to their respective tents.
