        "content": "<p>Deputy Chairman of Commission VI of the House of Representatives,\nAndre Rosiade, attended a meeting with Minang migrants in Semarang. The\nmeeting was also accompanied by an agenda of maintaining ties with the\nGovernor of Central Java, Ahmad Luthfi, as well as the executives of the\nCentral Java branch of the Minang Family Association (IKM). In the\nmeeting, Andre Rosiade, who is also the General Chairman of the IKM\nCentral Executive Board, emphasised that Minang migrants must become a\nstrategic force. A force capable of synergising with the government in\ndriving development, both at the regional and national levels. \u201cWe have\na principle: built wisely, implemented honestly. We will be a positive\npartner for the government, whether city, regency, or central\ngovernment,\u201d said Andre Rosiade in a written statement on Monday\n(27\/4\/2026). Andre Rosiade also stressed the importance of maintaining\nunity and a spirit of mutual cooperation among migrants, who are known\nfor their high solidarity. In addition to the agenda of maintaining\nties, the meeting discussed strengthening the IKM institution in Central\nJava, including plans to provide a temporary office for the Central Java\nbranch until the construction of a permanent secretariat. Andre Rosiade\neven opened opportunities to utilise empty spaces to support\norganisational activities. \u201cIf there is space that can be utilised,\nplease use it temporarily. The important thing is that the organisation\ncontinues to run and provides benefits,\u201d said the General Chairman of\nthe IKM Central Executive Board, Andre Rosiade. In the discussion, the\nmanagement of assets owned by Minang migrants in the Tembalang area,\nSemarang, was also addressed. These assets are considered to have great\npotential to be developed into activity centres, including dormitories\nfor students. Andre Rosiade encouraged that these assets be optimised\nimmediately through renovations and more professional management. \u201cIf we\nmanage that asset well, in a short time we can revive it. This is\nimportant so that the organisation has a clear base,\u201d said the Deputy\nChairman of the Gerindra Party Faction in the House of Representatives,\nAndre Rosiade. He then cited the success of Minang migrants in\nYogyakarta who had previously managed assets into student dormitories as\na model that could be applied in Central Java. Furthermore, plans for\nbuilding integrated facilities based on a mosque and multipurpose rooms\nwere also part of the discussion, with the hope of providing broad\nbenefits to the community. Furthermore, Andre Rosiade highlighted the\nsignificant economic contribution of Minang migrants to their homeland,\nparticularly West Sumatra. \u201cMigrants are a great force. Every year they\ncan send nearly Rp20 trillion to West Sumatra. This is concrete evidence\nof the role of migrants in driving the regional economy,\u201d revealed the\nSecretary of the Gerindra Party Faction in the People\u2019s Consultative\nAssembly, Andre Rosiade. However, Andre also reminded that West\nSumatra\u2019s economic growth has slowed in recent years, thus requiring\ncollaboration from all parties to boost the revival of the regional\neconomy. The meeting became an important momentum in strengthening\nrelations between Minang migrants, local government, and the IKM\norganisation, while also reinforcing synergy to support more equitable\nand sustainable development.<\/p>",
