Jakarta (ANTARA) - Prospective managers of the Red and White Cooperatives are expected to remain professional and motivated in carrying out their duties, as they will serve communities directly in remote areas, according to Deputy TNI Commander General Tandyo Budi Revita.

"The candidates should be true patriots with a strong sense of nationalism and must be resilient. When you face challenges, you do not retreat. These are the conditions we must face together," Tandyo said in a statement received here on Friday.

In addition to serving the public, Red and White Cooperative managers will be the key to making the cooperative programme succeed in strengthening the rural economy.
