Minister Setiadi emphasized that this program is highly strategic and must be executed collaboratively by all components of the nation.
He highlighted that the government cannot implement the free nutritious meal program alone, as it is a strategic initiative that requires collective attention.
“This Free Nutritious Meal program must foster collaboration, solidarity, and mutual assistance among all parts of our nation. It’s not something that can be done single-handedly,” he stated.
The government is optimistic that this free nutritious meal program will serve as a fundamental step toward making Indonesia a developed nation.
