JAKARTA - Chairman of the Democratic Party DPP Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) met with Golkar Party DPP chairman Airlangga Hartarto, Saturday, May 7. AHY met Airlangga at the official residence at the Widya Chandra Complex during the celebration of Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijriah.
During the meeting, the two political figures admitted that they were only joking. One of them discusses the name AHY (Airlangga Hartarto Yes!)
AHY said he prayed for Airlangga to be successful in carrying out his mandate as Coordinating Minister for the Economy.
The eldest son of the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), admitted that Airlangga's task was extraordinary for the welfare of the Indonesian people. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
AHY fully supports what the Coordinating Minister for Airlangga is doing. According to him, the task of the coordinating minister for the economy in the midst of a pandemic is not an easy thing.
"I continue to pray for Pak Airlangga to be healthy and successful because the task of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy is extraordinary," said AHY after meeting Airlangga in Jakarta.
He hopes that the performance that has been carried out by Airlangga will make the Indonesian people better even though they are facing the pressure of the pandemic.
"Hopefully, with the situation getting better with the pandemic, the people's economy can grow again," he said.
Ketum Democrat said his meeting with Airlangga was not only because of Eid. He hopes that the friendship and communication between the two can continue. However, AHY emphasized that his meeting with Airlangga was without any political elements.
"God willing, if political figures always stay in touch, it's not always a political matter, of course. But humanist-humanist affairs, kinship like this will also build a good spirit going forward," he said.
Airlangga and AHY also had time to joke around in the middle of the 30-minute meeting. The joke is related to the abbreviation of AHY.
Airlangga admitted that he had made guesses for the Ketum Democrat about 'AHY stands for what'. AHY who got the guesswork answered by mentioning his own name, Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono.
"Earlier I answered Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, but there is another version, Airlangga Hartarto said Yes! AHY also happens," said AHY while laughing.
The chairman of Golkar, Airlangga, admitted that AHY's arrival was more about kinship. Airlangga and AHY also discussed the volleyball team fostered by the SBY family, Bogor Lavani, which won the 2022 Pro Volleyball League.
"Of course, what is being discussed is kinship and is also related to friendship as we usually discuss family. We also discuss the material from the achievements of the Lavani volleyball club which won the league, and coincidentally it was managed by Mr. SBY and his family, if I am a wushu sports manager. So We have the same interest in sports," said Airlangga.
