He emphasized that sports have a strategic role in forming the positive character of the younger generation, so all supporting elements need to be continuously strengthened.
During the meeting, the IBL, BNN, and Perbasi discussed concrete steps to expand their collaboration, including athlete education, public outreach, and awareness campaigns on the dangers of drug abuse. This collaboration is positioned as a preventative measure targeting the basketball community as a whole.
