"There are many tasks we must accomplish together. Let us continue working in unity. Even if our budget is limited, our spirit, minds, and ideas must never be constrained," Secretary-General Taufik added.

The event was attended by Special Staff to the Minister Andi Rahma, Senior Advisor to the Minister Sugito, alongside all Bureau Chiefs and personnel within the Secretariat-General of the Ministry of Villages and PDT.
