JAYAPURA – Acting Governor of Papua, Ramses Limbong, has urged the newly inaugurated Regent and Deputy Regent of Jayapura to prioritize regional development.

During the inauguration ceremony at the Papua Governor’s Office on Tuesday (March 25, 2025), Ramses emphasized the importance of leaders being present among the people.

"Jayapura Regency must set an example for Papua. The leaders must work with heart," said Ramses.
