On that occasion, the President expressed appreciation to anyone who have contributed to the success of the tree-planting initiative.

“A heartfelt thank you to local communities, especially to the Jakarta Capital Region Authority along with all regional governments in Greater Jakarta, and all participating companies,” he said.

The Head of State arrived at the JIEP Forest in the Pulogadung Industrial Zone at around 08.35 Western Indonesia Time and actively participated in tree planting during the event.

“I also noticed the trees flourishing, including pulai (blackboard tree), trembesi (rain tree), sapodilla, and bungur. We planted a variety of plants,” the President remarked. (KS/UN) (RIF/EP)
