“Conducted at the beginning of each year, it is our routine activity to tour our business units, and this UMN is special, so UMN is chosen as the first place to visit. I agree with the collaboration that will be carried out, because collaborations and synergies are what are needed at this time. Between UMN and KG, let’s see together what can we do to help each other, especially regarding internships, ok?” Lilik said.
“I believe that if we are together, we will be better off and I also believe 2023 will be better. Especially post-pandemic, hopefully, it will be even better.” Lilik said, closing his speech.
