PALMOILMAGAZINE, PALANGKARAYA – The 7th Borneo Forum was officially opened by Minister of Agrarian Affairs/National Land Agency (MAF/NLA), Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY). In his address, AHY emphasized that achieving public welfare is not solely the responsibility of the government, but requires concerted efforts from all sectors, including businesses.
AHY underscored the importance of national development focusing on multiple priorities without neglecting human resource development. “We must enhance the capacity and quality of our human resources comprehensively. There should be no division among sectors and regions; we must progress together. There should be no disparity between the central and regional governments,” AHY stated, as reported by Palmoilmagazine.com from the official page of Central Kalimantan Province on Saturday, June 29, 2024.
