JAKARTA – PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) is ready to socialize the national awareness program belonging to the National Counterterrorism Agency (BNPT) to all employees of the Pupuk Indonesia Group. This is a follow-up to the company's cooperation with the National Counterterrorism Agency which was previously stated in the Signing of the Synergy Cooperation Agreement.

"Through the dissemination of national insights, it is hoped that it can create a work environment and behavior of Pupuk Indonesia personnel that are free from radical terrorism," he added.

On the same occasion, the Head of BNPT Boy Rafli Amar appreciated Pupuk Indonesia for its commitment to socialize the national insight program. He said that the crime of terrorism stems from an intolerant radical ideology and can grow anywhere.
