JAKARTA - The South Sulawesi Regional Police Chief Inspector General of Police Nana Sudjana asked that the Free Tolerance Camp, which involves interfaith participants, be made an annual agenda.

He said the Freedom Tolerance Camp, which was initiated by the Regional Office of the South Sulawesi Ministry of Religion as part of the "Free Tolerance Week" activity, was also attended by the Management of the Joint Community Harmony Forum (FKUB) and the South Sulawesi Interfaith Council.

This is in line with the main theme "Freedom in Diversity, Tolerance in Difference", which is the embodiment of one of the central government's priority programs, particularly the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia, which has declared 2022 as the Year of Tolerance.

The opening of this camp was lively and special, besides being attended by hundreds of interfaith camp participants, this camp was also attended directly by the Chairperson of the South Sulawesi Provincial DPRD Andi Ina Kartika Sari, Gowa Regent Adnan Puricita, Head of Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Khaeroni and Forkopimda of South Sulawesi.

According to the Head of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of South Sulawesi Khaeroni, this camp will be filled with various activities, such as dialogue, art performances, standup comedy, outbound, and environmental reforestation in the form of joint planting of 500 productive trees aimed at strengthening national commitment and diversity.

"This includes building and creating an atmosphere of intimacy between participants, especially for students and interfaith students, in order to maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia which is the legacy of the founding fathers of our beloved country 77 years ago," he said, quoted from Antara.

Specifically for the Freedom of Tolerance Camp, this activity will last for three days, August 15-17, 2022. Previously, the Interfaith Harmony Dialogue was held at the Gammara Hotel on Saturday (13/8).
