He emphasized the importance of the day's topic, focusing on the development and supervision of notaries.

Thus, the webinar aims to discuss ensuring adequate supervision and guidance for notaries so that the public is not disadvantaged and notaries themselves are protected.

He hoped this second event of the Scientific Week would broaden perspectives and encourage aspiring notaries to understand that they cannot operate without restrictions. He also emphasized the need for KEMENKUMHAM RI to remain committed to enforcing existing regulations and taking decisive action on recommendations from the Notary Supervisory Council.
The Vice-Rector concluded his speech by expressing his hopes for the event's continued success. (laks/dmk)
