"The President is so concerned with Aceh. He details the strategic projects in Aceh and asks one by one how it goes, "Adli said.
Adli claimed to have answered all the questions of the President including the facts on the ground that the strategic projects are constrained and some even run in place due to land issues. Against this condition, Jokowi asked the Governor of Aceh or Aceh Government to immediately settle the land issue in the four strategic projects.
