“Our hope is that after the inauguration, we can continue to foster the spirit of the ’45 struggle,” Bobby said.

The governor also congratulated the elected North Sumatra DHD 45 board members and expressed hope that the new management would run various development programmes in the region.

“This is to foster the spirit of struggle within the community, particularly regarding development in North Sumatra,” Bobby said.

In addition, Hasyim continued, they also presented a number of strategic work programmes designed in collaboration with the North Sumatra Provincial Government.

He stressed the importance of preserving the soul and spirit of the 1945 independence, especially among the younger generation who are the main pillars of the Indonesian nation’s progress.

“This youthful spirit needs to be continuously encouraged by us, especially given that North Sumatra is currently led by a Governor who also represents the younger generation,” Hasyim said.
