INDONESIAN President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) said that Indonesia needs a national leader who has great courage in facing the dynamics of global conditions.
“Regarding the leaders we choose, be careful in choosing leaders. The challenges ahead are not getting lighter, but getting harder,” said President Jokowi when delivering directions at the National Consolidation of Jokowi’s Alap-Alap Volunteer Network at the Sentul International Convention Center (SICC), Bogor , West Java, Saturday (10/7), 2023.
He said that global dynamics were not in a good condition due to the influence of war, climate change and the food crisis. This situation requires a leader who has courage and has great courage.
“Don’t let us be sued, for example by the European Union, the World Trade Organization (WTO), we will become nervous. A country as big as Indonesia should not elect a leader who can be intimidated by any big country,” he said.
In front of around 16 thousand Alap-Alap Volunteers, Jokowi said that the ideal Indonesian leader is one who dares to take risks for his people, not one who seeks safety. Leaders don’t just look for safety, look for comfort, enjoy the pleasure of sitting in the Palace, sleeping in the Palace.
On that occasion, Jokowi directed that the national leadership be someone who is willing to work hard and not shy away from every problem facing the Indonesian nation.
“We want to find leaders who are willing to work hard for their people. If there is a problem, don’t run away, if there is a problem, dare to approach and solve it,” he concluded. [antaranews]
