In achieving the common goals of the government and MUI, President Widodo has underlined the importance of concrete economic empowerment programs, he noted.
Amin said he and President Widodo shared common views on how the central government could encourage Islamic boarding schools and community members to partake in the people`s economic empowerment program.
"Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Darmin Nasution and Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar also attended the meeting," he noted, adding that the locations for implementing the economic empowerment programs have been decided.
