Jokowi conveyed this when he opened the International Conference on Tackling the Covid-19 Pandemic which was held online. 

"We must strengthen cooperation within each country and also our cooperation with countries in the world. The spirit of cooperation needs to be emphasized because no one is safe until everyone is," Jokowi said, as broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat YouTube channel, Tuesday (23/2/2021).
