00:00Indonesian Foreign Affairs Minister Ratno Marsudi and Papua New Guinea Foreign Minister Justin Kacenko

00:08visited Wutung Elementary School in the Papua New Guinea border area.

00:14During their visit, Minister Marsudi emphasized the importance of educational infrastructures for human resources

00:21which is the foundation of society's future.

00:24The school renovation project is an example of Indonesia's commitment to supporting the development of Papua New Guinea.

00:32The two ministers also visited the Skau National Border Post to monitor the development,

00:37economic growth and people living near the border area.

00:42It is also for the first time the two foreign ministers are visiting a joint project

00:49that relates very much to the interests of the people,

00:53that is primary education and more importantly at the border.

01:01And seeing your enthusiasm today strengthened my hope of the very promising future that Indonesia and TNG will have.

01:11Allow me to share three points.

01:14In addition to the grant program from the Indonesian government,

01:18State Electricity Company or PLN had built several electrical infrastructures

01:23as part of the country's electricity export plan in Papua New Guinea.

01:30I therefore hope that the electricity providers of both countries can conclude their discussion very soon

01:39so that the need for electricity can be addressed immediately.

01:44So, ladies and gentlemen, I am filled with hope and optimism

01:49because when I see you, the students, not only do I see a concrete result of our cooperation and friendship,

01:59but I also see future ambassadors of friendship between Indonesia and PLN.

02:08Around 88 utility poles and cables along the border had been built.

02:13Furthermore, this project is imperative to provide electricity in the Wutung area and its surrounding.

02:38Thank you.
