In a solemn ceremony at the Bekasi Regency Government Plaza, Cikarang Pusat District, Friday (4/25/2025), Asep called for strengthening cross-sector collaboration to accelerate equitable development and improve the quality of public services.

The commemoration ceremony attended by hundreds of State Civil Apparatus (ASN) in the Bekasi Regency Government carried the theme "Central and Regional Synergy in Building the Archipelago Towards Golden Indonesia 2045."

He emphasized that the spirit of collaboration and active participation are the main pillars of responsive, transparent and accountable governance.

"Synergy between the center and regions is a must to achieve the nation's ideals as stated in the constitution," he said.
