MARABAHAN — H. Noor Ifansyah, Director of the Regional-Owned Enterprise Barito Kuala Mandiri Port Company in South Kalimantan, has been elected as Chair of the Barito Kuala chapter of the Indonesian Employers Association (APINDO Batola) for the 2026–2031 term.

The appointment was confirmed during the Regency Conference (Musyawarah Kabupaten / Muskab) of APINDO Barito Kuala, held at Aula Pawong Tlogo Handil Bakti.

“Alhamdulillah, we successfully conducted the conference smoothly and have been entrusted with continuing APINDO’s leadership in Barito Kuala for the 2026–2031 period,” Noor Ifansyah said following the inauguration ceremony, accompanied by other board members.

According to him, several programs initiated during the previous administration remain unfinished or ongoing. Therefore, the new leadership intends to continue and integrate those initiatives with new programs aligned with the priorities of the Barito Kuala Regency Government.

Meanwhile, APINDO Batola Vice Chair H. Yudian Noor stated that the new management team would strengthen synergy with the local government to ensure APINDO programs are well accommodated while also supporting business actors throughout the region.

“We will seek solutions to challenges faced by businesses in the field and try to assist through our programs, including the Kartu Siap Kerja initiative launched by the Barito Kuala Regency Government,” he said.

He added that APINDO aims to help connect the local workforce with employment opportunities available at companies operating within Barito Kuala Regency.

At the same event, Barito Kuala Regent Bahrul Ilmi expressed hope that APINDO’s presence in the regency would contribute to creating a conducive investment climate while supporting, mentoring, and motivating both large-scale enterprises and small and medium-sized businesses.

He emphasized that these efforts should particularly focus on developing the region’s flagship products and economic potential.
