BLITAR - The PDIP DPP emphasized the principle of foreign policy that is free and active in responding to the political conditions in the Middle East, as mandated in the opening of the 1945 Constitution.

Secretary General of the PDI-P Hasto Kristiyanto, Sunday, said the founders of the nation, especially Bung Karno (the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Soekarno) and Bung Hatta (the first Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia, Mohammad Hatta) had laid a very good foundation.

"That Indonesian independence is to show a spirit of liberation for the colonized nations in Asia and Africa. That is why independence as the right of all nations must be fought for and must not be denied," he said in Blitar as reported by Antara.

Hasto in a pilgrimage to Bung Karno's tomb in Blitar City added that independence should not be denied by an action of a super power country against a sovereign country.

According to him, this is the principle of free and active foreign policy, so that the Government of the Republic of Indonesia stands firm against the mandate from the opening of the 1945 Constitution.

The General Chair, he said, had also held a meeting with President Prabowo Subianto, one of which discussed the issue of the nation and geopolitical issues. The results of the discussion also explained that the important point was for the leaders of the nation to dialogue with each other.

In addition, Megawati's mother, added Hasto, also shared experiences with President Prabowo. Previously, Megawati was also invited along with other national leaders to meet, but at that time President Prabowo was still having events outside the area.

PDIP, he said, also has more assertive suggestions on the issue of Indonesia's foreign policy.

Hasto explained that Indonesian independence was intended to build world brotherhood, so that as a nation that experienced oppression, the spirit of independence is for all nations.

"Then the occupation of the world must be abolished because it is not in line with the peri of humanity and the peri of justice. that is what all presidents must continue," said Hasto.

He added that Bung Karno's leadership who fought for the independence of the nation became an example and it is hoped that it can continue in the foreign policy of free and active foreign policy.

Meanwhile, the General Chairperson of the PDIP DPP Megawati Soekarnoputri visited her father's grave, Bung Karno, in Blitar City. Megawati was accompanied by her family and party officials.

During the pilgrimage, the group read prayers together and sprinkled flowers. After finishing, the group continued their journey.
