President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Tuesday (01/10) had a discussion with palace journalists about recent issues at the State Palace in Jakarta.

According to Raf Raf, a palace journalist, this occasion allowed journalists and the President to have more insight about each other’s perspective.

“The President can listen to journalists or the media’s opinion. We can also see or know more about the Palace or the President’s perspective, so we can have closeness and build better communication, “he said.
