Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi Proud Because Indonesia Has Pancasila As The State Ideology

JAKARTA - Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi also visited the Commemoration of the Birthday of Pancasila led by President Joko Widodo in Dumai, Riau. This year it is considered special by Foreign Minister Retno, because it is different from usual, which is held outside Jakarta.

"This brings a message that Indonesia is not only Jakarta, but Indonesia is from Sabang to Merauke," said Retno in a recording of her statement before attending the Pancasila Birthday Commemoration Ceremony led by President Joko Widodo in Dumai, Riau, Saturday, June 1.

Quoted from ANTARA, Retno expressed her pride as an Indonesian citizen who has Pancasila as the basis for state ideology.

"We can never imagine what will be Indonesia's history if there is no Pancasila," said Retno.

With Pancasila, said Retno, the Indonesian nation, which consists of various ethnic groups and languages, can unite.

"So as citizens I am so proud that we as a nation have Pancasila. And as diplomats, this Pancasila that we continue to sell abroad is one of the largest assets of the Indonesian nation," said the Foreign Minister.

At the Pancasila Birthday Ceremony, Retno was seen wearing a long dark tosca green kebaya with batik subordinates, and accompanied by flower bros accessories which were also made from batik.

Today I wear Nusantara clothes but what is more contemporary, more modern. Because at the same time I brought a message that the kebaya can be worn in all situations, and still look elegant and slick," he said.
