On that occasion, Prof. Rokhmin delivered a speech on "Development of Marine and Fisheries Based Technology 4.0 for Food Sovereignty and People's Welfare". He invited his students to actively play a role in increasing economic growth through the use of marine resources.
According to the former Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, the potential of the maritime economic sector was still not being used optimally to boost the economy. "You have to go directly to the real economy, one of which is optimizing the potential of the maritime economy to answer the challenges of the food needs of the world community," he said. (Win)
