Jakarta - Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya met with Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung to discuss a number of issues, including strengthening the public transport system, developing green open spaces, and accelerating various strategic projects in collaboration between the central government and the Jakarta administration. The meeting took place at the Cabinet Secretariat building on Monday morning, beginning with both officials greeting and meeting all Cabinet Secretariat staff. “In the meeting, several strategic programmes were discussed, including the development of green open spaces and city parks, handling environmental issues and improving public facilities, and strengthening the public transport system through the construction of the MRT and LRT, which is being carried out collaboratively by the central government and the Jakarta Provincial Government,” said the Cabinet Secretary.
