In his remarks, Ganjar congratulated PSMTI for the 25th birthday. According to him, getting to age is not something that is easy for an organization.

"I want to wish you a happy 25th birthday. A short time for an organization," said Ganjar.

Ganjar also appreciated what PSMTI had done for the people of Indonesia. He said PSMTI's age of 25 years is not something short for an organization.

"Imagine not when we care for organizations and work for the community, then at that time what we can feel is people who gather for the common good," said Ganjar.

Reflecting on what PSMTI has done, Ganjar invites other community organizations to collaborate with all elements of the nation's children to advance the Indonesian nation.

"We strengthen these community organizations, we collaborate with the nation's children to contribute to Indonesia's development and progress," Ganjar appealed.

However, said Ganjar, in building the Indonesian nation, it is not only collaborating, but also maintaining harmony without distinguishing ethnicity, religion and race.

"Let's maintain harmony by moderating, so that we don't then distinguish each other, whether it's because of the ethnicity, religion, race, group. So that we both feel like the Indonesian people. That's the most important thing for now we encourage," Ganjar appealed.

In addition, Ganjar also expressed the steps that must be taken if he wanted to make Indonesia a big country.

Starting from holding hands with each other to make a contribution to goodness, then the obligatory thing is to stick to Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika.

"Of course, we will realize this country's big dream with a very strong basis. Pancasila and Bhineka Tunggal Ika," he said.
