The Chairperson of the Organizing Committee (OC), Baby Jurmawati Djuri, said that the National Congress is held every 5 years. The National Congress is conducted as a form of accountability for the 5-year period as the organization's administrators.

"I, as the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, am responsible for preparing the smooth running of the National Congress as well as all the attributes and needs that will be used in the National Congress. We also facilitate anyone invited as participants in the National Congress from BPP ASEPHI, BPD ASEPHI, and BPC ASEPHI."

"Baby Jurmawati Djuri said in her written statement, Tuesday, July 23, 2024."

"While for our reviewers, we provide an opportunity for 2 people from each region to send their representatives, including if they are non-executive members, to attend the Munas as observers."

"imbuhnya" translates to "additional information."

"Opened by the Minister of Trade"

Baby said there would be an official opening by the Minister of Trade followed by all participants and other invited guests. In the event, there will be a special dance performance, just like last year when awards were given to individuals involved in activities both internally and externally in ASEPHI.

"Our hope from the organizing committee is that the 9th ASEPHI National Congress can run smoothly and according to the expectations of the participants, so that a new leadership can be selected to continue the organization's operations and leadership smoothly by carrying out the entrusted vision and mission of the organization well."

"tuturnya." in English is "he/she said."

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Steering Committee (SC), Hatman explained that the participants of the National Congress were 17 BPD and 5 BPC. One BPD could not attend because their term had ended and they had not yet held a Regional Deliberation (Musda).

"So according to the AD/ART, BPD and BPC whose tenure has expired and have not held Musda, they cannot participate in the Munas event."

Hatman said, ASEPHI's 5-year agenda is to evaluate and select new management. In addition, during the Munas event, there will be discussions on program and organizational fields. These will later be divided into 2 commissions that will discuss these fields.

"The organizational field will discuss national development, such as the current issue of textiles which is currently busy with the influx of imported textiles from abroad entering Indonesia. The results of the discussion will be our recommendation. We will bring it to the government as suggestions and input from ASEPHI."
