Ensuring Smooth Connectivity, Menkomdigi: Government Cannot Do It Alone

Indonesia’s Minister of Communication and Digital (Menkomdigi), Meutya Hafid, has stressed that the government cannot work alone to ensure smooth digital connectivity across all regions of Indonesia.

She conveyed this during the Digital Connectivity Appreciation 2026 event held by BAKTI Komdigi and detik.com. She emphasised the need for collaboration between the government, industry, media, and society to ensure equitable digital access continues.

“This (Digital Connectivity Appreciation 2026) shows that the government cannot operate alone; we need cooperation with many parties,” said Meutya on Friday (17/4/2026).

Meutya revealed that the Digital Connectivity Appreciation 2026 serves as a platform to appreciate the real contributions of individuals, communities, and institutions in expanding access and digital literacy in the country. For this reason, she commended the parties that have collaborated to realise tangible changes for Indonesia’s progress.

“I am also moved; earlier, there were so many people from various elements, whether from schools, community health centres, then friends from the TNI, and of course the extraordinary industry, with their excellent cooperation with the government. This facilitates the government’s steps to continue ensuring that this connectivity runs well in all regions,” she explained.

Meutya also invited all parties to work together to advance digital connectivity in Indonesia.

“Our commitment is clear: Indonesia is increasingly connected, the ecosystem continues to grow, and the digital space is continuously maintained, safe, and inclusive for all. This commitment is reflected in the real roles of all of you who continue to drive digital connectivity progress in various regions of Indonesia,” she concluded.
