According to a press release, received from the Deputy Head of Media Protocol and Media Secretariat of the President on Thursday, the president, in the company of Public Works and People`s Housing Minister Basuki Hadimuljono, arrived at a shopping center located in Jayapura City on the Sam Ratulangi Street, Bhayangkara Village, North Jayapura Sub-district.
The head of state, who arrived wearing a white shirt and black trousers, was seen walking casually in the mall.
Occasionally, President Jokowi also greeted the visitors at the mall by smiling and waving out to them.
While walking around, the president looked at a footwear store.
Apparently, the store had put up a picture of President Jokowi when he had bought footwear from the same store`s outlet in a different city.
The photo drew the attention of the president, who then decided to stop over at the store.
Jokowi spent about 20 minutes at the mall and then left at 9:25 p.m. local time.
The president and his entourage returned to the hotel and are scheduled to continue the working visit on the following day.
