Ministry Of Culture Ready To Hold Commemoration Of Pancasila 2025 Certificate Day, Strengthen The Spirit Of National Unity

JAKARTA - The Minister of Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, Fadli Zon, chaired a coordination meeting across ministries/agencies in preparation for the 2025 Pancasila Sanctity Day Commemoration Ceremony. This coordination meeting discussed technical readiness, protocol, and field arrangements for the implementation of the ceremony which will take place on October 1, 2025 at the Pancasila Sakti Monument, Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta.

"This ceremony is not just a ceremony, but must be a meaningful event and bring a strong message about national unity. The sacredness of Pancasila must be reflected in the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony, showing the strength of the Indonesian nation which is rooted in the values of Pancasila," said Culture Minister Fadli Zon.

The Minister of Culture emphasized that the Pancasila Sanctity Day Ceremony has been held since 1966 and this year will be the 59th anniversary. The incident that we recalled occurred exactly 60 years ago, in 1965. This gave its own meaning, especially in the midst of the 80th anniversary of Indonesia's independence. The theme, which was raised this year, 'Pancasila Perekat Bangsa Towards Indonesia Raya', is very relevant to the world situation which is being colored by global divisions and dynamics," he continued.

The Minister of Culture also highlighted the importance of ensuring respect for the family of Revolutionary Heroes, as well as emphasizing the need for refreshment in the ceremonial procedure so that it is not monotonous. "The president will also definitely pay special attention to the family of Revolutionary Heroes, so that their position must be placed in an honorable and easily accessible place by the President," said the Minister of Culture.

In addition, the Minister of Education also gave special directions regarding the role of the Pancasila Certificate Museum in the Lubang Buaya area. This museum needs to be upgraded immediately, both in terms of showing off, narrative, and technological touch. The time is indeed limited, but in the next 20 days we will try to make improvements with the support of the National Museum of Indonesia so that the face of this museum is more feasible and becomes the attraction of the community," he added.

The Commander of the Permanent Garnisun I/Jakarta, represented by Asops Kogartap 1/jkt, Rinaldi Irawan, also gave an explanation regarding the preparation of the ceremony. He reported various alternative concepts for the implementation of the ceremony, including the anticipation of the weather and the number of personnel deployed. Gross Gladi, continued Rinaldi, is scheduled to take place on September 26 '27, rehearsals on September 28, as well as final checks on September 30, 2025.

If the weather supports, the ceremony will continue to be held at the Lubang Buaya ceremony, with a troop strength of 929 personnel. The second alternative fieldes 625 personnel, while if it rains heavily, the ceremony will be moved to the Paseban Building with a limited number of 62 representative personnel from each unit and student," he said.

He also conveyed the candidate for the Ceremony Commander, namely Colonel Inf. Didin Nasruddin Darsono (Kasiter Kasrem 163/WSA Kodam IX/UDY), while the prospective host came from representatives of the Army, Navy, and Air units.

The Pancasila Ceremony will take place on October 1, 2025 at the Pancasila Sakti Monument, Lubang Buaya, East Jakarta with the theme "Pancasila Perekat Bangsa Towards Indonesia Raya". President Prabowo is scheduled to attend the ceremony as a ceremony inspector. The Pancasila Ceremony will also be filled with the performance of the choir team which will present national songs to strengthen the solemn atmosphere.

Also present at the meeting were the Head of the TNI/Polri Personnel Bureau of the Presidential Military Secretariat, Brigadier General Maulana Ridwan; Director General of Cultural and Traditional Protection, Restu Gunawan; ranks of the Presidential Military Secretariat; ranks of the Presidential Security Forces; ranks of the Ministry of Culture; as well as other invited guests.

Closing his remarks, Minister Fadli hoped that the 2025 Pancasila Kesaktian ceremony could be a meaningful ceremony and a way for the Indonesian people to give the highest respect to the fallen Revolutionary Heroes.

"This ceremony must show the greatness of our nation and be the highest respect for the Heroes of the Revolution. With thorough preparation, I am sure that the implementation will take place in an orderly, solemn, and meaningful manner," concluded Fadli Zon.
