Jakarta, Apr 29 (EFE).- Indonesian President Joko Widodo met for the first time Thursday with relatives of the 53 people who died aboard a military submarine that sank last week and offered them the construction of new houses.
Widodo, who had already announced posthumous promotions for all seafarers and scholarships for their children, renewed his promise to support the families of the Indonesians who died in the sinking of the Nanggala-402 vessel.
“We will build you a house in the locality of your choice,” Widodo said in a solemn ceremony before the families in a hangar of a naval base in East Java.
