Jokowi’s likely absence from UN assembly is just ridiculous: Comment


JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): It will be an irresponsible decision and even a cowardly act for President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo, if he opts to skip the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) for the eighth time.

There are no more acceptable excuses for him to shun the annual global forum, unless he has a serious health problem, which is unlikely. Or is it because he has increased fuel prices, an unpopular decision Indonesian presidents avoid?
