"On behalf of the West Java Provincial Government, I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude to GAPENSI West Java, which has been a strategic partner of the regional government in development, particularly in the construction services sector," said Deputy Governor Erwan.

According to him, the construction sector plays a very important role in regional development because it is the foundation for the birth of various infrastructure, public facilities, and supporting facilities for economic progress and public services.

He believes that the construction world is currently facing increasingly complex demands, ranging from work quality, efficiency, work safety, transparency, to the use of technology in every construction process.

"GAPENSI is required to continue moving and improving to have strong competitiveness and continue to uphold business ethics," he said.

The West Java Provincial Government, Erwan continued, hopes that GAPENSI can continue to encourage the emergence of superior construction service providers who comply with regulations and are oriented towards the quality of their work results.

"Good development is not just about being completed quickly, but also about being solid, beneficial, and providing a sense of security for the community," he stressed.

On that occasion, Erwan also emphasized the importance of synergy between the regional government and the business world, including the construction services sector, so that infrastructure development in West Java is not only oriented towards achieving physical targets, but also has a real impact on improving community welfare, creating jobs, and regional economic growth.

He hopes that the new management resulting from the 14th MUSDA can immediately compile a work program that is in line with the programs of the central government and the West Java Provincial Government, so that the collaboration that is established can provide wider benefits for the community.

Concluding his remarks, the number two person in West Java hoped that the entire series of the 14th MUSDA BPD GAPENSI West Java would run smoothly, democratically, and produce the best decisions for the progress of the organization.
