In this meeting, the President and his team discussed the vision and government programs that have been implemented, are currently underway, and will be carried out in the next five years. This discussion served as a strategic moment to strengthen synergy between the government and higher education institutions in building a more advanced Indonesia.
The Rector of Untar appreciates the invitation from the President of Indonesia and emphasizes that this discussion reflects the government’s understanding of the crucial role universities play as pillars of the nation’s progress.
