He explained that the opening of the event will be held at the Al Falah Islamic Boarding School in Ploso Village, Mojo District, Kediri Regency, while the closing ceremony will take place in Bangkalan, Madura. The opening will be led by internal organisers, whereas the closing is scheduled to be attended by President Prabowo Subianto at STAI Syaichona Moh. Cholil, Bangkalan, on Tuesday, 23 June 2026.
