The delegation was led by PKWPS President Awang Nib Zuhairi bin Awang Ahmad, who introduced the organisation’s new leadership team for the 2026–2027 term.
The meeting provided an opportunity to outline the organisation’s vision and seek guidance from the premier on its role in supporting Sarawak’s growth.
