During the meeting, the two parties agreed to discuss cooperation between the Government of Aceh-Kamaishi JICA Project 2020.
JICA Indonesia Representative Tada Naoto said, the collaboration between Aceh-Kamaishi was supported by JICA as a form of disaster education program.
"This cooperation will be about the natural disaster learning program, we ask 16 people from Aceh to be facilitated to study in Kamaishi, Japan," he said.
Disaster education is meant, said Mr. Tada, starting from the level of students and teachers to the community.
"During the tsunami in Kamaishi, many students survived and it was thanks to the disaster education. Later, what we get in Japan by these 16 people will certainly have to be applied also in Aceh in accordance with the plans that we have prepared, "he concluded.
Secretary of Disbudpar Aceh Zulkifli welcomed the cooperation program proposed by JICA.
"We realize that this program is not in the form of goods or objects but in the form of knowledge transfer towards disaster impact reduction. Our task will be to select 16 people who will be sent to Kamaishi Japan, "he said.
Later, Zulkifli added, the Government of Aceh through the Disbudpar Aceh will also sit together with stakeholders before August 2020 to submit the names of people who will be sent to Japan.
