As such, Jokowi called on the newest LPDP Scholarship awardees to use this opportunity to gain new knowledge and insights.

Furthermore, Jokowi reminded the scholarship recipients to use their time overseas to strengthen and improve their character, talent, and skills.

Being a student opens the gateway to improve leadership and managerial skills that will bode well after graduating.

Aside from reminding the scholarship recipients to advocate tourism and investment in Indonesia, President Joko Widodo also outlined the importance of building up the students' patriotism, humanity, and Indonesian character.

“Today, some of us present here come from various areas across Indonesia, from different religions and ethnicities, but together, we are all brothers and sisters of the same homeland, Indonesia.”

He encouraged the LPDP Scholarship awardees to continue learning and hurry in completing their studies so that they return to build Indonesia.

“Stay enthusiastic in your pursuit of knowledge, maintain your health, and return home as soon as possible when you finish your studies. Together we can shape a more resilient Indonesia for the future.”
