Good afternoon.

Welcome to unrivaled natural splendor and rich cultural heritage, Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today is where we can finally physically meet again after the Covid 19 pandemic for quite some time, and it is very honor for me to present these congratulatory remarks for the 10th REAAA Business Forum.

In the early years, REAAA Business Forum has shown its potential and demonstrated its high strategic value for the REAAA.

The first 2 REAAA BUSINESS FORUM, held in Bali on April 2014, and in Sydney on October 2014.

The 3rd REAAA BUSINESS FORUM was in Tokyo on November 2016.

The 4th REAAA BUSINESS FORUM was held in Bali on March 2017,

The 5th REAAA BUSINESS FORUM was in Manila on July 2017.

The 6th REAAA BUSINESS FORUM was in Kuala Lumpur on October 2018.

The 7th in Taipei, Taiwan on April 2019 and

The 8th in Manila, the Philippines on September 2021, and

The 9th in Seoul, South Korea on March 2022, which was specially held in a hybrid, offline and online manner, because at that time the Covid 19 pandemic was still in transition to become endemic.

All those forums had been successfully done.

Through the forum, some MOU’s had been signed, and some collaboration between companies on road related business in the region had been tighten up.

Based on all of this, I would like to thank the Chairman of the 10th REAAA Business Forum with all the team, and our sponsors which I can not mention all one by one. who support this event, so that this event can be held and hopefully it will benefit everyone present here.

Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen,

Let us use today’s 10th REAAA Business Forum to learn from each other’s experiences, with the main topic “The Implementation of Technology 4.0 to Deliver Sustainable Road Infrastructure”.

In today’s forum there will be a Keynote presentation, 4 presentation speakers and 1 fellowship speaker from Cambodia supported by REAAA Fellowship Program through Minconsult, Sdn. Bhd.

I strongly hope, that this REAAA Business Forum can satisfy the need of business entities to get Informations, establish connections, and enter negotiations, and I hope the forum will identify and seize opportunities for game-changing commitment, bold leadership, and practical steps to a great business.

Ladies and gentlemen, by the end of my speech, I just want to say, let’s use this opportunity to share our ideas and innovations and foster new connections and partnerships.

Thank you!

Lydwina Marchiela Wardhani
