JAKARTA - Minister of Defense (Menhan) as well as Coordinating Minister for Public Services Singapore, Chan Chun Sing, emphasized the commitment to the regional strategic collaboration with Indonesia.
This was conveyed by the Minister of Defense of Singapore when giving a public lecture to the participants of the National Leadership Implementation Education (P3N) of the Indonesian Lemhannas 25 in Jakarta, Tuesday.
He said Indonesia and Singapore are not competing because the real competition is with global uncertainty.
"Despite the many challenges and differences between Indonesia and Singapore, such as territory and population, he said, Indonesia and Singapore also have many opportunities to work together, complement each other, and jointly diversify risks," Chan said as quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, August 5.
Thus, he assessed that the challenges faced at this time could not be overcome sectorally or by only one country.
However, to realize all good things, according to Chan, both Indonesia and Singapore, it is necessary to continue to instill the seeds of trust and the spirit of cooperation in the younger generation.
"If we succeed, this is not only good for Indonesia and Singapore, but also good for the world," he said.
On the other hand, he also told P3N participants that for about 20 years ago, he was the Singapore Army Attache for Indonesia.
Meanwhile, the Governor of the Indonesian National Resilience Institute (Lemhannas) Ace Hasan Syadzily appreciated the presence of the Singaporean Defense Minister to Lemhannas RI.
"Minister Chan's visit is a great honor for us, considering that the Minister is an extraordinary person," Ace said on the same occasion.
Governor of Lemhannas RI said that so far there has been cooperation between Lemhannas RI and the Singapore Ministry of Defense, including sending the best graduates of the Lemhannas RI Education Program in the Distinguished Graduans Visit to Singapore every year.
The Ministry of Defense of Singapore is also said to have never been absent from sending representatives to participate in educational programs at Lemhannas RI.
P3N participants who received public lectures total 103 participants, consisting of representatives of various leadership elements, including the leadership of the TNI/Polri, leaders of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN), universities, ministries and institutions, and other community organizations.
The public lecture was also attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Singapore to RI Kwok Kook Seng, Deputy Governor of Lemhannas RI Rear Admiral TNI Edwin, Main Secretary of Lemhannas RI Commissioner General of Police Panca Putra, as well as deputies and officials in the Lemhannas RI environment.
This activity is part of Lemhannas RI's strategic mission to form a nation leader who thinks holistic, comprehensive, and integrative, while strengthening regional cooperation in dealing with increasingly complex global issues.
