VIVAnews – President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono today was departing to Switzerland and Japan for work visit. In Geneva, Switzerland, the president will attend the 100th International Labor Conference. Meanwhile, in Japan, President Yudhoyono will find some time to meet the survivors of the severe earthquake and tsunami that took place on March 11, 2011.

“I will go to Geneva for two days, then Japan also two days,” said President Yudhoyono in a press statement before departing at Halim Perdanakusuma airport, Jakarta, Monday, June 13, 2011.

In Geneva, President Yudhoyono was scheduled to deliver a speech during the conference. One of the focuses of the Indonesian government is a tripartite cooperation among entrepreneurs, labor and the government. According to Yudhoyono, the tripartite mechanism has already been carried out and it came to be the solution to the global crisis effects.

“In order to prevent a wave of job dismissal, the real sector must be saved. One way to do this is not letting labor tumult from happening,” said Yudhoyono. One of the tripartite methods is providing fiscal incentives to alleviate the company’s burden. However, Yudhoyono also hoped that workers and trade unions could run their functions and missions well.

“But of course the workers must do their job productively so that businesses are revived. That is our principle. The already-formed tripartite cooperation has performed its function,” said Yudhoyono.

Meanwhile, during the work visit to Japan, President Yudhoyono will meet Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko. The emperor had actually conveyed the invitation to Yudhoyono last February. But due to some condition and Japan’s disasters, the visit was postponed.

In the trip to Japan President Yudhoyono will also meet Prime Minister Naoto Kan to assure the enhancement of bilateral cooperation. The Indonesian government will also hand some aid to Japan.

According to Yudhoyono, Japanese government has given a lot of aid when Indonesia was hit by disasters such as Aceh tsunami.
