JAKARTA - Vice President (Wapres) Gibran Rakabuming Raka invites church youth to continue to maintain harmony, unity, and tolerance as the main foundation in strengthening the nation in the midst of Indonesia's diversity.
The message was conveyed by Gibran when opening the Regional Camp for Youth and Teenagers of the Pentecostal Church in Indonesia (GPdI) North Sulawesi on Monday, June 29, as conveyed in the statement of the Vice President's Secretariat received by Antara Jakarta, Tuesday, June 30.
"As a multi-ethnic nation, as a nation that is Bhinneka, we also need to really maintain unity, peace, and tolerance values. Don't make differences a divisive factor," said Gibran.
According to the Vice President, diversity is a strength that must continue to be cared for by all elements of society, especially the younger generation. Therefore, he invited the youth of the church to be an example in building a life of harmony, peace, and mutual respect.
In addition to inviting people to maintain harmony, Gibran appreciated the implementation of the GPdI camp which was considered not only to strengthen spiritual guidance, but also to equip participants with various relevant insights to face future challenges.
"I see that the materials, in addition to spiritual training, also include mental health, leadership, and even government. This is very good because young people must be given various types of insights and strengthened in their character education," he said.
He hopes that the participants can grow into a generation that is not only spiritually strong, but also has a leadership spirit, social concern, and the ability to contribute to society.
On this occasion, Gibran also had a dialogue with camp participants from various regions in Indonesia to foreign countries. He admitted that he was proud to see the enthusiasm of young people who voluntarily participated in the training activities.
At the end of his speech, the Vice President expressed his appreciation to the GPdI for its role in nurturing the younger generation while strengthening national unity and harmony through various positive activities.
