JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid emphasized that the telecommunications sector is important to strengthen the foundation of digital transformation and support the equitable distribution of national public services.
According to him, restoring the industry through consolidation between cellular service providers will facilitate the implementation of government priority programs.
"We hope that in the future digital transformation in Indonesia can be even faster because we see that this is something good for the country," Meutya said in a statement quoted on Tuesday, May 27.
The Ministry of Communication and Industry, according to Meutya, is open to cooperation with various parties, including XL Smart, to ensure digitization of strategic sectors such as MSMEs, Red-White Cooperatives, to the expansion of digital infrastructure in disadvantaged areas.
Meanwhile, XL Smart Independent Commissioner, Retno Marsudi, expressed his company's readiness to provide data solutions to support the government's agenda.
"We see that our President is very pro-people, so his programs are very grounded, such as the Red-White Cooperative and Free Nutrition Food (MBG)," said Retno.
