Yohanis conveyed this after leading the meeting of National Children's Day commemoration with the Acting Mayor of Jayapura, the Acting Regent of Jayapura Regency and other related agencies at the Papua Governor's Office, Jayapura City, Wednesday (3/7/2024).

"We confirmed how many smart children and colossal dancers will be used. The point is that there are thousands of Papuan children, but we are making sure whether 3,000 or 2,000 people will still use it, so there is certainty regarding transportation costs," said Yohanis.
