Ganjar Pranowo in his speech underlined the important role of two Chinese figures, Rear Admiral Indonesian Military (TNI) John Lie (Jahja Daniel Dharma) and Yap Tjwan Bing, in the struggle for Indonesian independence. He emphasized that the contribution of the Chinese ethnicity had made a mark in the history of the Indonesian nation.

"I am happy with the spirit of caring for Indonesia that is promoted by PSMTI in various fields, such as social, cultural, and educational. We must continue to guard these values ​​for the sake of harmony and unity," said Ganjar.

Ganjar Pranowo stressed the importance of maintaining harmony that has been well maintained so far. He emphasized that Pancasila has become a strong foundation for the life of the nation and state in Indonesia.

"Caring for Indonesia is our shared responsibility, so that all children of the nation can live in harmony regardless of differences in ethnicity, religion or race," said Ganjar.

Ganjar also provides a real example of how ethnic differences do not hinder national and human life, as seen in Lasem, Central Java. There, ethnic diversity is reflected in complementary cultures and traditions.

"The story of Lasem, who is rich in ethnic diversity, shows how important it is for the state to maintain and care for harmony in the midst of diversity. When there is a threat to harmony, we must speak up and act," explained Ganjar Pranowo.

PSMTI, the largest ethnic Chinese organization in Indonesia, has a crucial role in maintaining national harmony. With 25 years of age, PSMTI is present in 32 provinces and 300 districts/cities, with more than 600 thousand board members.

Thus, Ganjar Pranowo gave his appreciation and encouragement to the Indonesian Chinese Marga Social Association (PSMTI) to continue to maintain and maintain the harmony of the Indonesian nation. Through the values ​​of diversity and unity, PSMTI contributes to strengthening ties between citizens in the spirit of Pancasila.
