Jakarta, March 17 -- Villages and Development of Disadvantaged Regions Minister Yandri Susanto has urged all elements of the nation to align their vision to advance the Red and White Village Cooperatives (KDMP) program, highlighting its strong growth potential.

"KDMP is a national strategic program that deserves support through concerted efforts," he said during a dialogue with journalists at an iftar event held at his official residence in Jakarta on Monday night (March 16).

In a statement issued on Tuesday, Susanto outlined several reasons why the priority program should be advanced, emphasizing that it operates on a business model requiring each cooperative to allocate its net surplus strictly for the benefit of rural communities.
