As the host of the 7th Congress in 2026, we were deeply moved by your inspiring words and appreciation for our commitment. The Directorate General of Corrections of Indonesia is pleased to officially endorse and fully support your candidacy. We are impressed by Latvia's long-standing commitment to probation and criminal justice reform, which has led to tangible results, including the halving of your country's prison population in two decades. Your journey of reform and innovation serves as a powerful reminder of what is possible when determination and collaboration come together. We are confident that your vision for the 2028 Congress, which focuses on probation as a "transformative force in society", is a crucial and timely theme. The proven track record of your service and the formal endorsement from the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Latvia further strengthen our belief in your ability to successfully deliver this landmark event. We look forward to a continued collaboration and believe that hosting the Congress in Riga will be a significant and successful event for the global probation community. We wish you all the best in your preparations and look forward to welcoming you and your team to Indonesia for the 2026 Congress. Director General of Corrections, ${ttd_pengirim} ${ttd} Drs.
