Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Indonesian government and aviation enterprise The Boeing Company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to procure 24 F-15EX aircraft, 4.5-generation fighter jets, at the company's office in Missouri, the United States.

According to a statement received from the Ministry of Defense in Jakarta on Tuesday, Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto personally witnessed the signing process of the MoU between the representatives of both parties on Monday (August 21).

"It is a pleasure to announce that we have reached an agreement on the procurement of F-15EX fighter jets that will be vital for Indonesia," Minister Subianto remarked after the MoU-signing ceremony.

On the occasion, the minister had the opportunity to tour Boeing's hangar to see the production process of F-15 jets and board one of the aircraft.

The MoU was inked by Defense Ministry's Head of the Defense Facilities Agency Air Vice Marshal Yusuf Jauhari and Boeing's Vice President Director and Boeing Fighters Program Manager Mark Sears.

In an official release of Boeing, Sears stated that his company, as a partner to the US government, is ready to help countries across the globe, including Indonesia, in the efforts to maintain security and preserve peace by producing fighter jets equipped with advanced technology.

"We have invested years of expertise into developing the F-15EX capabilities. There is no other fighter like the F-15 in the world, and this platform will put Indonesia at the top of air dominance capabilities," he noted.

The F-15EX is the most advanced version of F-15 jets that Boeing has ever built. The F-15EX fighter jets are equipped with various advanced features, such as digital fly-by-wire flight controls, a new electronic warfare system, digital glass cockpit, and the latest mission systems software capabilities.

Furthermore, the company remarked that the mission systems will be further developed for the 24 fighter jets ordered by Indonesia that are codenamed F-15ID.

Indonesia has ordered Boeing's F-15 fighter jets under the foreign military sales (FMS) scheme that requires authorization from the US government to execute.

In a statement released in February last year, the US' Defense Cooperation Security Agency reported that the Indonesian government had requested to procure up to 35 Boeing F-15 aircraft and various supporting equipment and infrastructure, with an estimated total cost of US$13.9 billion.

Japan, just like the rest of the world, is grappling to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic situation.

Despite COVID-19 still being a threat, the country's economy is gradually improving.

​​​​The country dubbed "The Land of Cherry Blossoms" decided to lower the status of COVID-19 to the category of seasonal flu and other infectious diseases starting in May, which is expected to restore social life and the economy.

The recovery in the tourism sector has gradually gained momentum.

Although the improvement in Japan's tourism sector is still supported by local tourist visits, the reopening of flights and easing of quarantine rules for the arrival of foreign tourists is expected to increase tourist visits to Japan.

Several tourist destinations in Tokyo, including the Tokyo Tower and the Tokyo Imperial Palace, are starting to record an influx in the number of local and foreign tourists.

Tourists were also seen lined up in spiralling queues to pay for groceries and get tax-free facility at popular department stores in the Ginza area.

Tourists continue to wear masks in the outdoor area to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The activities reflected revived enthusiasm of foreign tourists to visit Japan.

Assistance increases visits

One of the reasons for this increase was the government's efforts to assist the tourism industry in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the Japan Tourism Agency (JTA) data, the assistance provided includes coaching and financial support to add value to the tourism industry in several areas.

The central government provides coaching support by sending experts on revitalization, building consensus, and improvement through individual facility renovations and financing.

Moreover, the government provides project financial aid, including facility renovation subsidy to provide value-added assistance of up to 100 million yen (around US$754.4 thousand) and tourist facility renovation subsidy of up to 10 million yen (around US$75.4 thousand).

Additionally, the government gives subsidies worth 100 million yen for building conversion in tourism areas and grants of up to 20 million yen (around US$150.8 thousand) for the use of digital technology in tourism areas.

"The increase in the number of visits has gradually occurred, thanks to government assistance and also the easing of restrictions at the arrival gate, so the situation continues to improve," Deputy Director of the Tourism Industry Division of JTA, Shimizu Taiki, told ANTARA in Tokyo, Wednesday (Feb 1).

According to Taiki, the government is also assisting for campaigns to increase tourist arrivals to all regions in Japan.

In 2022, the domestic visit campaign was conducted from October 11 to December 27 by providing discounts of around 40 percent, with an upper limit of 8,000 yen (around US$60), for accommodation and transportation in Japan.

This year, the Japanese government will continue the visit campaign starting January 10, with an adjustment of the discount to 20 percent, or an upper limit of 5,000 yen (around US$37) for accommodation and transportation.

Providing assistance for the national travel campaign requires three vaccinations or a negative PCR test result.

The assistance program, starting in 2022 and continuing in 2023, has benefited the tourism industry, such as restaurant owners, outlets, hotels, and inns or ryokan, with a gradual increase in the growth of guest visits in Japan.

Taiki cited the JTA data while noting that the number of domestic and overseas hotel guests in Japan from January to May 2022 had reached a total of 155.5 million, and the figure then increased during the period from June to October 2022 to reach 205.5 million guests.

The total number of guests is better as compared to the number of hotel guest visits in 2020, the first year when COVID-19 was confirmed in Japan.

During the January-May 2020 period, the number of hotel guests was recorded at 133.4 million. Meanwhile, during the June-October 2020 period, there were only 131.1 million people.

"To attract tourists, we offer a variety of programs with quality experiences and carry out promotions to potential tourists. If they visit Japan, they will have an unforgettable experience," Taiki stated.

The tourism industry recovering

The melodic tone of the Japanese bamboo flute is audible in the terrace room of Hoshinoya Tokyo Resort.

Two female receptionists, dressed in kimonos, greeted several tourists, who had just arrived in the room that reflected an amalgamation of traditional Japanese and modern interior styles with yellow light.

The easing of travel restrictions in Japan supports the improvement in the hotel industry.

The general manager of Hoshinoya Tokyo Resort, Geunju Lee, stated that hotel occupancy had gradually improved since 2021.

"Our occupancy rate is improving positively," Lee said.

According to Lee, the occupancy rate is influenced by support from the government, such as through the Go To campaign in 2020, health support, and the most significant influence being the easing of travel restrictions at the entry gate or airport.

She explained that the biggest challenge for the hotel industry during the pandemic was the uncertainty of when COVID-19 would end as well as efforts to maintain employee welfare amid the slow economic conditions.

Lee said that the Hoshinoya Tokyo Resort had innovated to attract visitors by giving the impression of traditional yet modern interior design and Japanese culture that supports environmental sustainability.

"Our goal is to establish and introduce our business style as a hotel serving traditional Japanese ryokan to the world," she affirmed.

The tourism industry in popular tourism destinations in Japan, such as Kyoto, is also starting to grow.

The streets in the Gionmachi Minamigawa area, Kyoto, which are popular among tourists for their culinary delights and traditional Japanese Maiko-Geiko artists, are also bustling with local and foreign tourists.

Some shops and stalls in Matsubara-dori, Higashiyama, on Sunday (Feb 5), were also crowded with visitors. Many tourists line up to wait for orders at culinary outlets or wait their turn to make cups at handicraft outlets.

Director of the Department of Commerce, Labor, and Tourism Office of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Yamamoto Taro, revealed that a survey in 2022 recorded tourist visits to Kyoto that year to have reached as many as 3.5 million.

Although this figure was only around 10 percent of the tourist arrivals before the pandemic in 2019, reaching as many as 32 million people, this number proves that Kyoto's tourism industry is starting to revive.

"Three efforts made by the Kyoto prefectural government along with the central government to deal with the pandemic to help the tourism industry are providing financial support for tourism-related businesses; providing a sense of security, health, and comfort to visitors; and providing subsidies for tourists," Yamamoto remarked.

The local government is also campaigning for a tourism program spread across several other areas in the Kyoto Prefecture, so that tourists do not only pile up in downtown Kyoto.

The government launched the campaign for tourist destinations in the Kyoto Prefecture, apart from the center of Kyoto City, namely Kyoto Infused with Tea, Kyoto by the Sea, Kyoto Otokuni Bamboo Grove, and Kyoto in Forests.

"The four tourist destination areas can provide new locations and interesting experiences for foreign tourists," Yamamoto remarked.

Hopes are pinned high on the recovery of tourism conditions, considering the world is entering a post-pandemic period of COVID-19.

The pandemic is a valuable lesson for all countries. All stakeholders, both the government and the community, are striving to recover and become better by prioritizing health.

CANBERRA: Australian Transport Minister Catherine King said on Thursday (Sep 7) that invasive gynecological examinations conducted on passengers at Doha's international airport in 2020 were part of the reason she refused to allow Qatar Airways to double its services to Australia.

King has faced intense questioning over why she decided on Jun 10 not to allow the airline to double its current 28 flights per week to Australia.

She said the decision was made in the "context" of women being examined in 2020 by authorities at Hamad International Airport in Doha who were trying to find the mother of a newborn baby found dumped in a trash can.

Women on a number of flights leaving Doha were invasively examined, including 13 on a flight to Sydney.

"There is no one factor that I would point to that swayed my decision one way or the other," King told reporters.

"Certainly, for context, this is the only airline that has had something like that where that has happened," she said.

"I was not not aware of it, so obviously it was in the context of the decision that I made. But there was no one factor that influenced this decision." she added.

Qatar Airways and the Qatari government did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

"I have not gone back home for almost a year now because my house is still submerged. So, I live at my grandparent's house. Their house is quite elevated," said Aldo when met in Pekalongan, Sunday (27/8/2023).

Aldo stated that the Degayu sub-district was severely affected by flooding. In fact, he mentioned that there are areas within the sub-district that have been submerged since 2019 and have never receded. This condition of course has caused various difficulties for the community.

In order to minimize the impact of floods, residents have to spend a considerable amount of money to raise their homes. The community also has to collect contributions to elevate the roads in their neighborhood to prevent flooding.

"There are several roads that need to be raised with community self-help. The government budget is available, but not all of it is utilized," said Aldo, who is a student of Law at Pekalongan University."

In addition, some residents have ultimately opted to move elsewhere as their homes continue to be constantly inundated by floods. Hence, in areas severely affected by floods, many vacant houses are left behind by their former occupants.

On the other hand, many rice fields in the Degayu Village are flooded due to tidal waves and can no longer be cultivated. As a result, many farmers have been forced to switch to being fishermen and fisherwomen.

Also read: Solidarity that Thrives in the Middle of Inundation in Pekalongan

Based on several sources, the tidal flooding in Pekalongan occurred due to a combination of three factors: climate change, land subsidence, and human activities. Climate change has an impact on rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions.

The decrease in ground level occurred due to several causes. One of them is the type of soil in Pekalongan, which is classified as young sediment and naturally experiences subsidence. On the other hand, the decrease in ground level is also driven by excessive groundwater extraction and increasing building loads.

Meanwhile, human activities that contribute to flooding and landslides include land use conversion and indiscriminate disposal of waste and garbage.

In danger of drowning

In the future, flash floods in Pekalongan are predicted to become even worse without serious handling. According to a study conducted by Mercy Corps, around 90 percent of Pekalongan city area will be under water in the year 2035.

In addition, the percentage of residential areas affected by floods in Pekalongan City is estimated to increase 100-fold, from 0.5 percent in 2020 to 51 percent in 2035. The losses caused by floods are also predicted to rise from IDR 1.55 trillion in 2020 to IDR 31.28 trillion in 2035.

Aldo stated that pooling floods have caused many young people in his residential area to choose to migrate. "When I look at my neighborhood, many of the youth have actually migrated from the village. So now, it is the elderly who dominate," he said. However, Aldo confesses that he does not want to follow suit and migrate.

He, on the contrary, wants to actively participate in addressing the impact of tidal floods in his area. "My hope is that young people who have more energy and are able to become agents of change can take action to prevent this prediction (Pekalongan sinking). And I want to be involved," said Aldo.

KOMPAS/HARIS FIRDAUS
Dozens of young people took part in a youth camp or youth camp with the theme "Youth in Water Management and Handling Cross-border Rob Floods", Sunday (27/8/2023), in Pekalongan Regency, Central Java. The activity was held by Pekalongan Youth Partnership and Collaboration (Kobar).

It was this desire that made Aldo finally take part in a youth camp activity with the theme "Youth in Water Management and Handling Cross-Border Flood Floods" which was held by the Pekalongan Youth Partnership and Collaboration (Kobar). The event, which was attended by around 50 young people, was held on 25-28 August 2023 in Pekalongan Regency.

In the event, participants were given various materials related to climate change, water governance, and flash floods from several sources, both from government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and journalists.

The youth camp activity is part of the Partnership's climate change adaptation program in Pekalongan City with funding support from the Adaptation Fund.

My hope is that young people who have the energy and ability to become agents of change can take action to prevent this prediction (Pekalongan sinking) from coming true.

Concerns related to tidal flooding are also felt by Ika Debi Krisfani (25), a resident of Bandengan sub-district, North Pekalongan district, Pekalongan city. She mentioned that the environment where she lives has been severely affected by tidal flooding. In that area, many houses and roads are often submerged by tidal flooding.

"If a tidal flood occurs, it will take a long time to recede, up to several weeks. "In order for it to recede, we have to help suction with a machine," said Debi, who also attended the youth camp held by the Partnership.

Debi expressed great concern about the flood caused by tidal wave. Moreover, she had only returned to Pekalongan a year ago after living in Bali for several years. "I was in Bali for a long time, which is why I was shocked to see the condition when I returned here. So, I am still adapting to the condition here," she said.

Pumping up initiative

Arif Nurdiansah, the representative of Knowledge Management Partnership, stated that in 2018, the Partnership gathered around 30 young communities in Pekalongan City to discuss the impact of climate change. However, most members of the communities apparently did not understand the issue of climate change.

Therefore, when the Partnership implemented a climate change adaptation program in Pekalongan, young people were one of the groups involved intensely. Arif said, organizing the youth camp was one of the ways to bring young people closer to the issue of climate change.

"The 2017 data shows that about 35 percent of the population of Pekalongan are young people. Therefore, we want to involve the youth," he said.

Pekalongan Adaptation Fund Program Team Leader Andi Kiky said, the youth camp aims to encourage the initiative of young people in Pekalongan to contribute to handling the impacts of climate change, especially related to tidal floods and water management.

Kiky mentioned that the activity not only aims to encourage young people to be concerned about climate change issues, but also to urge them to take actions related to the issue.

That is why, in the event, the participants were also invited to draft a petition regarding the management of water and flood control in the city of Pekalongan. "The petition is not only addressed to the government, but all parties, including the groups in the community," said Kiky.

In the petition, the young youth camp participants stated that the handling of tidal floods in Pekalongan City had not been carried out optimally. This can be seen from the clean water crisis experienced by some residents and the existence of a number of areas that are still flooded.

They also assess the need to clarify the authority for flood and tide control, both at the central, provincial, and city government levels. On the other hand, supporting infrastructure for handling tides, such as dikes, water pumps, and irrigation, is considered to not be functioning optimally. These young people also argue that there is a need for awareness-raising for society, business groups, and bureaucracy regarding the impact of climate change.

Apart from that, they asked the government to facilitate proper shelters and other supporting facilities for the victims of the tidal flood. The youth camp participants also urged the government to strengthen waste management in areas prone to tidal floods and clarify the status of land lost due to tidal floods.

Previously, the Daily Acting Regional Secretary for Pekalongan City, Anita Heru Kusumorini, said that there were a number of strategies for dealing with tidal floods. "The strategy we are implementing is planning spatial and regional planning to anticipate the impact of climate change, managing river watersheds, and adjusting people's livelihoods to make them more sustainable," he said ( Kompas, 27/7/2023).

The government of Pekalongan City is also building various infrastructure to control floods. Efforts to adapt to climate change are also encouraged through the establishment of climate-friendly villages, the development of sustainable food areas, and community assistance to obtain suitable employment.

Amidst these various efforts, the involvement of young people is also needed. Young people are expected to utilize their knowledge, creativity, and skills to participate in the fight against the impacts of climate change.

The Conjuring spinoffs are continuing with , and news around the demon Valak's return is arriving fast as The Nun 2 release date looms. Following the success of his directorial debut Saw in 2004, James Wan struggled with his follow-ups. While they've since developed cult followings, both Dead Silence and Death Sentence struggled at the box office. Wan went back to his roots with 2010's Insidious, proving himself a modern horror auteur, but it was his follow-up The Conjuring which - just like Saw - spawned a box-office smashing franchise. The Nun was the second IP to spin off from the Conjurverse after Annabelle, and the second movie to feature Valak looks set to propel the demon to the same levels of infamy as the Warren's possessed doll.

The Nun II is the latest movie in the Conjurverse. There are currently eight entries in The Conjuring saga.2018's The Nun served as a prequel to the events of The Conjuring 2 and followed the origin of the demonic entity, Valak, whose forms include the titular Nun. Bonnie Aarons' Nun was a late addition to The Conjuring 2, with Valak originally portrayed as a more traditionally demonic-looking creature - and the last-minute change elevated Valak to a being capable of holding their own in a standalone spinoff. Now, in 2023, the demon returns for The Nun 2, this time set in France. The Nun itself received very mixed reviews but turned a healthy profit, which inevitably led to The Nun 2, and here is all the latest The Nun 2 news.

The Latest The Nun 2 News

The most recent The Nun 2 news is the critical reviews and responses to early screenings, and they point to the new The Nun movie being a strong entry for the franchise. Most critics believe that The Nun 2 is better than its predecessor, and not just by a small margin. The new horror movie is being considered a monumental improvement of the original film, with the scares, the intensity, and the shocking third act getting seemingly endless praise. While The Nun 2 is being dubbed as the last movie in The Conjuring universe, critics have noted that The Nun 2 has a clever and significant impact on it.

While critics are still embargoed, meaning they're not allowed to speak about the movie details at length, many have tweeted about their reaction to The Nun 2. BJ Colangelo was slightly critical of The Nun 2 story, noting, " the story felt like three different films fighting for the main plot," but added, " scares had me jumping in my seat." Shannon McGrew was ecstatic about the movie, commenting that The Nun 2 " is so extra and goes so hard that I'm now instantly obsessed." Tessa Smith confirmed what everyone was hoping, revealing that The Nun 2 is " infinitely better than the first film... scarier and much more intense..."

Though The Nun 2 was announced as in development shortly after the release of the first movie in 2018, The Nun 2 release date wasn't immediately released. However, The Nun 2 release date is September 8, 2023, and will be exclusively in theaters. The Nun 2 release date is almost exactly five years after the first installment. During a chat with in 2019, The Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran stated a sequel was being developed for The Nun 2, which will apparently have " a really fun storyline." He also stated for the potential follow-up, " I think there is an inevitability to another Nun movie."

The Nun 2 Cast

Many of the movies in The Conjuring movie universe feature new faces in each installment, as the different movies take place in different time periods and detail different hauntings or possessions of new characters. The Nun 2 castwill continue this trend to an extent. However, The Nun 2 will see cast members from The Nun return. Bonnie Aarons will return as the demon Valak's nun form. Going up against Valak again in The Nun 2 will be Taissa Farmiga's Sister Irene. Some fans theorize she is the younger Lorraine Warren (Vera Farmiga). Also returning for The Nun 2 is Jonas Bloquet, as revealed by producer James Wan sharing The Nun 2 cast news on social media.

There are at least three new faces in The Nun 2 cast. Storm Reid, who fans saw in the first season of The Last Of Us on HBO Max, is playing a lead role in The Nun 2. Fans have learned from The Nun 2 writer Akela Cooper that there is an effort being made in this movie to increase representation. The casting of Reid confirms Cooper is seeing through with his intent, but even before this, she pushed for representation in The Nun 2 script. According to Cooper, she told producers during a meeting for the movie, " I'm going to put a Black nun in this," and no one objected. Reid spoke about her addition to The Nun 2 cast ( via Collider) and how it spoke to her.

"I am not a big horror film person, so I was really apprehensive reading the script. I was like, 'If this is not how I move through the world; if this character doesn't align with who I am as a person, I'm not doing it. By my surprise, the character I play is incredible. I think she really adds some funkiness to the story."

Also joining The Nun 2 cast are Anna Popplewell ( The Chronicles Of Narnia, Reign) and Katelyn Rose Downey ( The Princess). Popplewell is playing the widowed mother of Downey's character. No other cast members have been revealed yet.

The Nun 2 Story

The most obvious The Nun 2 news is that the franchise moving locations, as the movie will take place in France. The Nun 2 story is also only set a few years after the events of the first movie, and about 15 years before the events of The Conjuring. The Nun 2 has a script written by Akela Cooper, who also wrote the scripts for Malignant and M3GAN. Michael Chaves is directing The Nun 2. Chaves also directed the last two The Conjuring spinoffs, The Curse Of La Llorona and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.

Producer James Wan, who gave more details about Frenchie in The Nun 2 story. James Wan commented on Frenchie's situation sets up The Nun 2 story, noting, " Frenchie has moved on from the first film and he is at a Catholic school as a groundskeeper-handyman." Wan also discussed Frenchie's friendship with Sister Irene, adding, " I love this platonic friendship that the two of them have. She cares very much for him, and she wants to do everything she can to help him." The Nun 2 will likely see Irene conflicted between her love for Frenchie and also knowing she has to fight the evil within him. Reportedly, a string of murders has taken place that seems to be perpetrated by the Nun. Now, a fully-ordained Sister Irene (Taissa Farmiga) will return in The Nun 2 to get rid of her.

The Nun 2 Trailer

Filming for The Nun 2 wrapped in late 2022 and a trailer was shown at CinemaCon, and now, The Nun 2 trailer has finally been released. The Nun 2 trailer follows a young girl who believes she's being haunted by a mysterious entity, and the footage then shows that, yet again, not even young children are safe from the Nun, as the entity violently grabs the girl's head. The priest then yells what's sure to be a classic line, " you send that thing back to hell!"

The first trailer for The Nun 2 isn't the only pre-released footage WB has shared. Plenty of The Nun 2 behind-the-scenes footage and featurettes have been put into circulation by the studio, including a breakdown of how Valak and The Nun were created for the big screen. With release date not until September, another trailer will likely surface, revealing more of the story and characters.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The 2023 ASEAN-Indo-Pacific Forum (AIPF) encouraged cooperation between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and the private sector, SOEs Minister Erick Thohir has said.

"Why did we organize the ASEAN-Indo-Pacific Forum...? We, indeed, wanted to encourage cooperation between SOEs and private parties, as well as with foreign investors," he said, while visiting the media center of the 43rd ASEAN Summit in Jakarta on Thursday.

He said that SOEs have a role in building a conducive ecosystem for cooperation with various parties.

The 2023 AIPF Business Matching in Jakarta on September 6 was attended by 185 investors, both international and domestic.

The business matching involved several sectors: renewable energy, green hydrogen development, green ammonia, alumina refinery, battery value chain, and toll road and port infrastructure.

Thohir emphasized the importance of following up on each cooperation potential so that the cooperation can be realized.

Earlier, SOEs Deputy Minister Rosan Perkasa Roeslani informed that his ministry is targeting cooperation potential worth US$50 billion from the AIPF.

"We estimate that, from the business matching, the addition will be cooperation potential worth US$50 billion consisting of 35 SOE projects worth US$22 billion," he said.

Roeslani added that there would also be US$10 billion from four projects of the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) as well as US$810 million from projects coming from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Brunei Darussalam.

He informed that those projects involve several SOEs, including MIND ID, PT Pelindo, PT Krakatau Steel, PT Bio Farma, PT PLN, Pupuk Indonesia, PT Angkasa Pura I, PT Pertamina, PT ASDP, PT Aviasi Pariwisata Indonesia (InJourney), and PT Danareksa.

Indonesia hosted AIPF themed "Implementation of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific" in Jakarta on September 5-6.

The forum aimed to strengthen inclusive cooperation and collaboration between ASEAN countries and partner countries in the Indo-Pacific Region.

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Indonesia is a leading country in food security in the ASEAN region, Head of the National Food Agency (NFA) Arief Prasetyo Adi said at the ASEAN Business & Investment Summit (ABIS) here on Sunday.

"We can be relied upon for the food sector in the ASEAN region," Adi said.

He said Indonesia has raised several issues that become concerns at the regional level, for instance, food security.

The ABIS is a sideline event of Indonesia's 2023 ASEAN Chairmanship's ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) and is currently hosted by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) on September 3-4, 2023.

To achieve the goal of food security, ASEAN-BAC this year created a single narrative that includes commodity profiling, commodity balance sheet, key success factors and roadmap, and key policies to address food security.

In this regard, the Indonesian Government has allocated Rp108.8 trillion (US$7.1 billion) in the 2024 State Budget Draft (RAPBN).

Some Rp89.6 trillion (US$5.8 billion) is for the central government's spending, and the rest Rp19.2 trillion (US$1.3 billion) is for regional governments.

Adi explained, apart from the Ministry of Agriculture, other ministries are also involved in food security efforts, in terms of infrastructure, social and food assistance, food reserves, to cheap interests for funding.

"It (budget for food security) has been prepared, just (waiting for) execution," he said.

In addition, he believed that Indonesia has more abundant food commodities compared to other ASEAN countries.

He mentioned that Indonesia together with Vietnam and Thailand have agreed to strengthen regional food cooperation, with Myanmar likely to participate in the regional food cooperation soon.

However, among these countries, he said, Indonesia has better food commodities.

"Food in Thailand and Vietnam is surplus, but their productions are still below ours. Indonesia has entered the top four, along with China, India, and Bangladesh," he said.

Food security was also one of the issues discussed at the 10th Meeting of Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors (AFMGM).

ASEAN finance ministers and central bank governors have expressed their commitment to strengthening fiscal collaboration to boost the region's food security.
