During his morning work visit (19/10) to Miangas Island, Miangas Village, Miangas District, Talaud Regency, North Sulawesi Province, President Joko Widodo inaugurated the operation of Miangas Airport, which had just been renovated, which extended the runway to 1400 m and was built a standard and adequate passenger arrival and departure terminal. After inaugurating Miangas Airport, President Jokowi and his entourage toured Miangas Island using a small bus. After arriving in the south of Miangas Island, the bus stopped suddenly. President Jokowi also stepped down accompanied by First Lady Iriana. The two then took a leisurely walk on a concrete cliff on the beach that seemed to have been deliberately built as an abrasion barrier. Unexpectedly everyone, President Jokowi suddenly descended alone from a concrete cliff and walked toward the beach that looks receding. Arriving at the beach shore, President Jokowi crouched down to wash his hands with sea water and wash his face. After washing his face with Miangas Island sea water, President Jokowi returned to the concrete cliff approaching the First Lady and invited into a double cabin type car with a red numbered plate bearing the words of Indonesia and continued its journey to the terminal through Miangas Airport via the runway. - JP / Agus Suprapto / setneg / Adi / 19

Presiden Jokowi pun turun didampingi Ibu Negara Iriana. Keduanya lantas berjalan-jalan dengan santai di atas tebing beton di tepi pantai yang nampaknya sengaja dibangun sebagai penahan abrasi. Tanpa diduga semua orang, mendadak Presiden Jokowi turun sendirian dari tebing beton dan berjalan ke arah pantai yang terlihat surut. Sesampainya di bibir pantai Presiden Jokowi pun berjongkok mencuci tangannya dengan air laut dan membasuh mukanya. Usai cuci muka dengan air laut Pulau Miangas, Presiden Jokowi kembali k atas tebing beton menghampiri Ibu Negara dan mengajak masuk ke mobil jenis double cabin dengan plat nomor merah bertuliskan Indonesia serta kembali melanjutkan perjalanan menuju terminal melewati Bandar Udara Miangas lewat landas pacu. - JP/Agus Suprapto/setneg/Adi/19
