This year’s commemoration of Pancasila Day once again serves as a moment for all elements of the nation to reaffirm their commitment to foundational values that unite Indonesia. Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya emphasized that Pancasila is not only the ideological foundation of the state, but also a moral compass for the Indonesian people.

“Pancasila is both the foundation of the state and the moral compass of the nation. Its values serve as a guidance in facing the challenges of our times and bring us back to our identity as Indonesians,” said Cabinet Secretary in a written statement on Sunday (06/01).

According to him, the challenges currently faced by the nation, both internal and external, require a reinforcement of national character grounded in Pancasila. He called on all communities to make the values of Pancasila the foundation of their thinking, behavior, and actions in everyday life.

“Happy Pancasila Day, June 1, 2025. Let us continue to uphold the values of Pancasila as the foundation of our daily lives,” stated Cabinet Secretary. (BPMI Presidential Secretariat) (AS/MMB)
