With its slogan "CERTAINLY! INDONESIA” the event beats the drum for optimism about a better and more developed Indonesia.
Established in 2013, the UVJF says it is committed to environmental protection. "This year, UVJF also supports the prohibition of disposable plastic. This commitment shows our concern as well as our responsibility as community members who care about environmental issues," Anom said.
