Indonesia Logistics and Forwarders (ALFI/ILFA) appreciates the press that has actively participated in supporting the growth of logistics industry, saying its key and strategic role through objective reporting and publication helps to educate the community in understanding this industry. 

ALFI Chairman Yukki Nugrahawan Hanafi noted that the press has proven its key role in socializing any government regulation relating this sector to community and business players on one hand and amplifying or bridging any expectations from business players on the other hand. In addition, the press has also helped to introduce the logistics business and the logistics players’ activities and services to the community. 

“The press has proven its key role in educating the community, including on the logistics industry and services,” Yukki said in press statement for ‘Press Day (HPN) 2021’ event on Tuesday, February 9.

Yukki expects the press to keep its strategic position as an institution that provides objective and independent information to the community and as an independent institution to educate the community. “We hope the press can sustain this position and make it better and better,” he said. 

Yukki understands that the pandemic Covid-19 has been hitting many sectors, including the mass media industry, but calling for building optimism. He also calls the press for continuing to educate the community on the health protocols amid this Covid-19 outbreak. 

“We expect the press to continue educating the community on health protocols,” he said.
