Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) Arsjad Rasjid said that the preparation process for the National Conference (Munas) IX Kadin is still ongoing.

"The process continues, it is part of the process. I have announced it to Extraordinary Members (ALB), and now to the Kadin management, I said prepare the National Conference process, so that this National Conference can be accelerated," said Arsjad in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Thursday, October 17.

Arsjad said, there are many stages that must be passed to reach the National Conference, starting from the convention from ALB, verification and others.

According to Arsjad, the National Conference must run properly in order to find solutions that have been agreed upon, one of which is so that there is no more dualism in Kadin's internal body.

"This munas must run in order to find a solution that had already been agreed upon, so that it becomes a Kadin, not to be dualized," he said.

The date for the National Conference, continued Arsjad, will be set by the government. Therefore, his party has made various preparations.

"The date is determined by the government, but from the context we agree on that. But if it's for preparation, we will prepare it first, so when it's ready, it's just a matter of time," said Arsjad.

Previously, in early October 2024, Kadin held a consolidation meeting with 238 Extraordinary Members (ALB) to strengthen coordination and preparation for the National Conference (Munas) IX Kadin.

This consolidation meeting affirmed the commitment of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Board to carry out an agreement between the Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Arsjad Rasjid, and the Chairman of the Advisory Council of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Anindya Bakrie, and the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Bahlil Lahadalia which was held on Friday 27 September.

According to the agreement, the solution to the dynamics in Kadin is to hold a National Conference after the inauguration of President-elect Prabowo Subianto. For the time and place of implementation of the National Conference, it is adjusted to the direction of the government.

Kadin at the central and regional levels will focus on becoming a strategic partner of the government in encouraging inclusive, sustainable, and just economic growth for all Indonesian people.
