Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Vice presidential candidate number 02 of the Republic of Indonesia Sandiaga Salahuddin Uno has promised change and return of economic power to the country.

"The point is that MSMEs such as these can restore the strength of the national economy," Uno noted in a written statement received in Jakarta on Friday.

He made the statement during a visit to seek the people`s inputs over breakfast and dialog with the residents in Bopet Rajawali Juanda. One of the popular breakfast places is on Jalan Juanda Padang.

Prabowo Subianto`s vice presidential pick enjoyed mixed meat soup from Padang and most of the two half cooked eggs dunked in soup.

"It is delicious. Food like this absorbs employment and can bring prosperity to the surrounding community," Uno noted.

Moreover, culinary arts can develop tourism potential in this Padang area. Culinary tourism is now a prima donna, he stated.

After the meal, hundreds of mothers were seeing lining up outside the Rajawali restaurant as they awaited the vice-presidential candidates for the Gerindra Party stretcher, Prosperous Justice Party, National Mandate Party, and Democrats.

Sandiaga, in a short speech, said it was time to bring about a change and further economic improvements as well as to realize an economy that absorbs employment and keeps prices of basic needs stable and affordable.
