Ace Hasan Syadzily, M.Si., delivered his remarks, commending UIN Jakarta’s six decades of contribution to Indonesian society. He emphasized the university’s historic role.

Dr. Ace also underscored the achievements of UIN alumni who now hold strategic positions in government and society.

“Surprisingly, our Minister of Religious Affairs is an alumnus of UIN Jakarta. Even the Director General of Science and Technology at the Ministry of Education is a graduate of UIN. These are clear proofs that UIN alumni play an important role in advancing the national agenda,” he noted.
