In his speech, Prabowo also reviewed the historical role of NU in the struggle to defend Indonesian independence, especially in important events in East Java.
"The proclamation of independence of our country on August 17, 1945 was indeed in Jakarta, but the test of independence was tested in East Java, tested in Surabaya, tested in the battle in Surabaya and its surroundings. The people of East Java, the people of Surabaya, led by the kiai and the ulama, have proven that the Indonesian nation is a nation that does not want to submit to anyone who wants to colonize our nation," he said.
Prabowo emphasized that NU has always been consistent in maintaining unity and being an example in nation-building and state-building. He also invited all elements of national leadership to continue to care for unity.
"NU always gives an example and always tries to maintain unity. No nation is strong and no nation can advance if its leaders are not harmonious. You can compete, you can compete, but all Indonesian leaders must be harmonious and maintain unity and unity," he said.

"The point is that I am here to express my gratitude to Nahdlatul Ulama, to the kiai and ulama, thank you to the Nahdlatul ulama family for the role of NU in maintaining peace and stability in the Republic of Indonesia," he concluded.
