Golkar General Chair Airlangga Hartarto said the three political parties supporting the government were determined to build a new political culture. Namely, politics built with cooperation in stages and stages based on the results of in-depth studies. Not cooperation that is done in a hurry and short.

"We will encourage unity and we will emphasize the risks resulting from identity politics," said Airlangga after a meeting with Zulkifli Hasan and Suharso Monoarfa, in Menteng, quoted from a written statement.

Airlangga, who is also the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs, said that the cooperation between the three parties will also be carried out to support and support the success of President Joko Widodo's government until 2024.

Airlangga instructed all party cadres bearing the banyan tree in all ranks to follow up on three party meetings in their respective regions.

He emphasized that the three parties also agreed to oversee the future political agenda, both the government agenda and the 2024 general election.

"Of course we will formulate it in detail in the near future, of course we will also make future programs that will continue the strategic programs of Mr. President Jokowi," said Airlangga.

Meanwhile, the General Chairman of PAN Zulkifli Hasan said that Indonesia had successful experience in holding direct elections in 2014 and 2019.

However, the success of the five-year democratic party also left an unfavorable impact on society. Namely, the condition of society that is actually divided and polarized.

"Let's end the dispute that was yesterday, let's love each other, those who insult, hate us, get rid of them. So that's an idea that we will build together with Golkar, PPP, and the National Mandate Party," said Zulkifli Hasan.
