Makassar, S Sulawesi (ANTARA Sulsel) - Makassar Mayor, Moh Ramdhan Pomanto, has invited students to take part in the ASEAN Mayors Forum (AMF), to be held from September 8 to 10, in Makassar, South Sulawesi province.
"We have made arrangements for the students to attend and speak at the international forum," Pomanto said on Wednesday.
According to him, this would allow students to take advantage of the international forum, help them communicate with the international community and express the aspirations of general Indonesian public as stakeholders.
"We are also inviting representatives of the student Executive Board with the aim to introduce them as intellectuals of Makassar at this forum," the mayor pointed out.
In addition, the committee has also invited a neighborhood organization to represent the administration at the grassroots level.
"All relevant parties have been invited, from the top to bottom level, such as regents, mayors, students and neighborhood organizations," he said, adding that the other participants included entrepreneurs, and members of the Indonesian Commerce and Industry Chamber.
"It is our hope that President Joko Widodo or Vice President Jusuf Kalla can inaugurate this forum," Pomanto said.
He estimated that the number of participants at the international forum would touch 3,000.
The ASEAN Mayors Forum will discuss topics, such as Adaptive and Resilient Cities, Intelligent Smart Cities, and Prosperous Cities.
Meanwhile, the Makassar Investment Forum (MIF), which is an important part of the forum, will discuss infrastructure development in Makassar, making Makassar an international business hub, a smart city and growing the consumer base in the city.
Another event named the Global Expo will discuss Makassar tourism, properties, industries and the smart technologies in investment.
"We hope that MIF will discuss investment because its potential is very large in Indonesia. The entry point for this forum is MIF, because we want this meeting to have some constructive outcome and not just remain a ceremony," Pomanto noted.
