JAKARTA - The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia Prabowo Subianto said that a nation cannot only be driven by one person, but requires the cooperation of all parties, from academics, national businessmen to religious leaders.

He conveyed this when giving a public lecture with the theme 'The Urgency of National Resilience in National Leadership' at the National Meeting and Working Meeting of the Forum of Deans of Social Sciences at State Universities in Indonesia held by the Faculty of Administrative Sciences Universitas Brawijaya Malang, East Java, Sunday, 3 July.

"A nation cannot be driven by one person alone. It needs cooperation. This I want to emphasize. At the national level we cannot be separated from the executive, judiciary, legislative. But there are also national businessmen, intellectuals, religious leaders, this is what move a nation," Prabowo said.

Prabowo explained that national security itself is an ideal condition for a nation to develop its strength. So that it can face various threats that come to interfere with the survival of the nation, both internally and externally.

Therefore, according to Prabowo, superior civilians, superior soldiers, and superior police and intelligence are needed. These advantages are needed to develop and maintain the elements of Indonesia's current national strength, namely geographic, demographic, natural resources, political, economic, military and psychological strengths.

"The state civil apparatus is superior. Excellent civil. It means that teachers, lecturers, must excel. Scientists, village heads, sub-district heads, regents, governors, director generals, and others," he said.

Furthermore, the General Chair of the Gerinda Party said that academics have a great responsibility for the future of the nation.

"You are the brains and the conscience of the country. Academics and professors have a responsibility to the future of the nation. You have a great influence on the nation. Let's go for a superior apparatus for the sustainability of the nation," he said.
