JAKARTA, KOMPAS — The meeting on Monday between the general chair of the Nasdem Party and the chair of the Central Executive Board of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Puan Maharani, (22/8/2022), at Nasdem Tower in Jakarta carried a number of meanings. Symbolically, the meeting dismissed the rift in relations between the top leadership of Nasdem and the PDI-P, as well as implied solidity within the coalition of parties supporting the government.

The second PDI-P national working meeting at the end of last June gave a mandate to Puan to establish communication with all political party leaders.
