Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka (Wapres) visited the bustling Mardika Market in Ambon, Maluku, yesterday as part of his regional tour. The market, known for its vibrant atmosphere and diverse array of goods, offered Wapres a glimpse into the daily lives of local residents.
During his visit, Wapres was seen interacting with vendors and traders, learning about their struggles and successes in the face of economic challenges. He also took part in a cooking session, where he attempted to prepare traditional Maluku dishes such as sate and rendang.
Wapres' visit aimed to showcase the Indonesian government's commitment to supporting small-scale businesses and promoting regional economic growth. The Vice President emphasized the importance of empowering local entrepreneurs and creating opportunities for social and economic mobility.
The Mardika Market, with its over 1,000 stalls selling everything from fresh produce to handicrafts, is a microcosm of Ambon's thriving economy. Wapres' visit highlighted the potential for this market to be a hub for regional trade and commerce, providing a platform for local businesses to access domestic and international markets.
