Success for all of us—the Manpower Office, UNPRI, and the people of Medan present today," he concluded.

Following his remarks, Mayor Rico Tri Putra Bayu Waas, accompanied by UNPRI leaders and Manpower Office representatives, conducted a direct inspection of the exhibition area, witnessing the enthusiasm of job seekers crowding the participant company booths.
