JAKARTA - PDI-P President Ganjar Pranowo will meet hundreds of students from all over Indonesia at Graha National Association of Activists 98 (Pena98) in Jakarta, Saturday, May 13.

"I get tremendous energy, remember when students, struggle with ideality, fight never be afraid, never get tired and full of intelligence, hopefully they become great children," said Ganjar as quoted by ANTARA.

He stated that the students came from various regions and universities in Indonesia.

"Today we meet, this is the future generation of Indonesia that has a big dream for the nation and in this republic," he explained.

Ganjar explained that young students, especially students, need the attention of their talents. The state needs to open as wide as possible, the talents of today's young people, who may never be given the opportunity.

"This is homework, for myself, when the trust is given, spaces will be given to young people who are creative," he asserted.

In addition, according to Ganjar, the dream of the nation's founders, where Indonesia becomes a developed and prosperous country, will be faster, because the creative process is with young people.

"They are scientifically quite complete, relatively good education and great mastery of technology, but one they don't have, the opportunity to get involved, that's a space that must be opened," he said.

Hundreds of students from Indonesia gathered at Graha Pena98 from a number of provinces in Indonesia. They attended and commemorated 25 years of reform.

Secretary General of Pena98 Adian Napitupulu said students currently need certainty, nothing is perfect, but at least, they choose the best from what is there.

"In my opinion, from the statements of a number of students who attended, Ganjar seemed to be as expected," he said.

But then, he said, if there are other students who are different, go ahead.

"They support Ganjar, I am grateful, there are those who do not support, this is a democratic country, it's okay," he said.
