He said that this activity can be a positive energy to encourage teenagers to be better and healthier, to be more creative and productive in various fields.
In addition, Khaidir also explained that this activity can provide insights to teenagers as future assets of the region to continue to be motivated to pursue education, pursue careers and get married with full planning, so that they are ready to face future developments, following the theme “Together with genre ambassadors, prevent stunting and early marriage for golden Indonesia 2045”.
To conclude his speech, Khaidir gave encouragement and advised that the finalists who would later be crowned winners could take advantage of the opportunity to represent Natuna Regency in the same event at the provincial level.
