In his speech, First Chair PP IKA UNAIR Prof Dr Bambang Sektiari Lukiswanto DEA Drh, representing the central management said that the national discussion was a monumental event. The purpose of this event was to convey and follow up on the ideas that UNAIR has planned to support Indonesia Emas 2045 and Indonesia Maju 2034.

“This event was initiated to follow up on the ideas launched by UNAIR’s Rector Prof Nasih, as well as in response to President Jokowi’s request. It is related to UNAIR’s contributions in the field of education to achieve the acceleration of Indonesia Emas 2045 and Indonesia Maju 2034,” he said.

Previously, Prof. Bambang mentioned that Dr (HC) Khofifah had also held meetings to present UNAIR’s ideas to support Indonesia Emas and Indonesia Maju. This national discussion is an opportunity to accommodate and refine these various ideas.

“Ning Khofifah has also facilitated this idea to be disseminated. For example, some time ago, in North Sumatra and East Nusa Tenggara. Later, Ning Khofifah will also continue this idea in upcoming forums in other regions,” said UNAIR’s Vice Rector for Academic, Student, and Alumni Affairs (AMA).

Prof. Bambang hoped that this discussion forum could provide optimal results to support and accelerate the common goals, to generate main ideas in achieving the acceleration of Indonesia Emas and Indonesia Maju. “May Allah give blessing to what we are doing now. Through this event, we can showcase UNAIR’s and the academic community’s contributions in supporting Indonesia Emas and Indonesia Maju,” he concluded.
