President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo attended the inauguration of the National Board of the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo) in Jakarta, Monday (07/31).

President Jokowi also notably congratulated Shinta Widjaja Kamdani for becoming the first woman who holds the position of Apindo’s Chairperson.

“The international institutions told me, ‘President Jokowi, Indonesia will have a golden opportunity in the next 13 years.” It is due to demographic bonus and industrial downstreaming that will trigger a big leap in the next 13 years,” the President said.

“The leadership in 2024, the national leadership in 2024, the national leadership in 2029, and the national leadership in 2034 will determine whether Indonesia can make a big leap or not. So, be wise in choosing our leader,” he remarked.

During the 11th National Congress of Apindo held on 14–15 June 2023, Shinta Widjaja Kamdani was unanimously appointed for Chairperson of the Board of Apindo for the term of 2023–2028.
