JAKARTA - The Minister of Youth and Sports, Zainudin Amali, ordered ISORI to be ready to carry out the task of overseeing the Grand Design of the National Sport. Namely by preparing a massive socialization program for the community.

When opening the National Working Meeting as well as the 52nd Anniversary of ISORI, Minister Zainudin Amali again reminded that as an organization filled with sports scholars, ISORI must be confident and always make breakthroughs in advancing Indonesian sports.

"ISORI members must have confidence, because with confidence creativity and innovation will be born. Their existence in society must be felt", said Minister Amali in a press conference at the Lobby of the Rectorate, Yogyakarta, Thursday, April 29.

The minister, who successfully oversaw the launch of the Menpora Cup Pre-Season Tournament, asked ISORI to take a role in continuing to oversee the National Sport Grand Design which has been presented to the President and just to be socialized. This is also a form of ISORI's existence.

PP ISORI Chairman Syahrial Bakhtiar stated that he is ready to implement the Menpora's directive. For ISORI, the Grand Design for National Sports, which was born after 76 years of independence, is a task that must be prioritized in addition to other tasks as directed by the Minister who is also ISORI's supervisor.

"We are ready to carry out the tasks, especially what he (Minister) is working on, namely to socialize and implement the Grand Design of Sports, especially in explaining to the public the position of physical fitness for all the people which boils down to achievement", said Syahrial.
