Second, Pelindo has trained human resources and third, Pelindo also has technology that is commensurate with global players," said Tanri Abeng.

“Pelindo must be able to satisfy the Government, and Pelindo must be able to satisfy the business community.

The hope from the State to make Pelindo a global maritime international player is very large, therefore I really hope that through this National Working Meeting, the details of all work programs at the Holding and Subholding levels will run well and all Pelindo Personnel will jointly build competencies for Pelindo to become a global class player, ensuring that all business models run well and all post-merger programs run smoothly as expected. Congratulations to Pelindo Merger and I hope that all Subholdings in the future can function properly and carry out their roles optimally," said Deputy Minister II of BUMN Kartika Wirjoatmodjo.
