inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. The Minister of Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions, Yandri Susanto, expressed optimism that achieving a Golden Indonesia by 2045 would be easier through collaboration in village development.

"If we work together with a strong commitment, I believe that Golden Indonesia 2045 can be achieved more quickly," said the Minister of Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions on Wednesday (7/23/2025).

He stated that this collaboration also serves as an effort to realize President Prabowo Subianto's Sixth Astacita by developing from the village level and from the bottom up for economic equality and poverty eradication.

Furthermore, the Minister Yandri explained that villages across the country possess considerable potential. However, he said, developing this potential cannot be done solely by his ministry but requires support from various parties, including government agencies, the private sector, higher education institutions, and even youth.

In line with this, Yandri and his party continue to strengthen collaboration to reach all villages across the country so that they can be optimally empowered. Yandri stated that his ministry has signed dozens of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with various parties to optimize village development.

"We have signed 48 MoUs, 28 of which are from the ministry," said Yandri.
