Hadimuldjono made the appeal in a press release last weekend.

Previously, Hadimurjono had held a bilateral meeting withTurkey’s Trade Minister Mehmet Mu to prepare for a meeting between Indonesian President Joko Widodoand his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan slated for early February 2022.

Hadimurjono said he hopes that the meeting would providea foothold for better infrastructure cooperation and strengthen bilateralrelations.
