    Evidence of Jokowi's Love and Promise for Papua

    President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) chose the West Papua area as his inaugural visit after being appointed as President in the 2019-2024 period. Together with First Lady Iriana, Jokowi boarded the Super Puma presidential helicopter to visit the Arfak Mountains District of West Papua Province.
    .
    Jokowi revealed the reason for making Papua, as the first area he visited after being inaugurated. This reason was revealed by Jokowi in his remarks when inaugurating the operation of the Youtefa or Holtekamp Bridge, in Jayapura, Papua, on Monday (28/10).
    .
    For Jokowi, the inauguration of the Youtefa Bridge became a milestone in the land of Papua. Not only a symbol that unites the nation, but a symbol of the importance of progress to build the earth of love.
    .
    "The land of Papua must advance like other regions in Indonesia. Papua is a small paradise that fell to earth, that is something I always feel every time I go to Papua, if I'm not mistaken I have been present 13 times in Papua," Jokowi said.
    .
    President Jokowi admitted that he was shocked by the condition of infrastructure in Papua five years ago. However, now slowly infrastructure in Papua has begun to be improved over the past five years.
    .
    Jokowi had told about Wamena and Nduga areas which were blocked by the Central Mountains 5 years ago there was no road. The people there had to walk for 4 days and 4 nights. Though the distance traveled is around 83 Km, but because of the heavy mountainous terrain, the mobility of people and goods is difficult. Jokowi admitted that he did not immediately feel he had to walk, but he took a helicopter so that it was easier.
    .
    "We are trying to imagine how our brothers are logistics when sick of health services. That is our country," he said.
    .
    His government is completing the construction of the Trans Papua road, including Jayapura - Wamena along 575 Km, which is now translucent and is just waiting to be formalized.
    .
    "That is our shared duty to advance the Land of Papua. That's why in the second period, Maruf Amin and I, the first working visit after I was appointed was to visit Papua," said the former mayor of Solo.
    .
    He wants that there are no areas left behind in Indonesia.
    .
    "So that western Indonesia, central Indonesia, and eastern Indonesia have a commonality, don't get too far behind," Jokowi explained.
    .
    Finally, Jokowi discussed his focus on prioritizing the development of Human Resources (HR).
    .
    "And then also relating to human resource development is a priority for the next 5 years," he said.
    .
    For this reason, the importance of infrastructure development will be the focus of the government for the next five years, in addition to focusing on the development of human resources (HR).
    .
    On that occasion Jokowi also explained his concern for Papua by stating Papua was the first province he visited after being appointed President.
    .
    "I just want to show, after the inauguration in this period that I visited the first was the Land of Papua. The message that was captured should be clear. What message? Clear. No need to explain," said Jokowi.
