President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Tuesday (08/15) at the front yard of Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, inaugurated 76 members of the national flag-hoisting team (Paskribraka) representing the country’s 38 provinces.
The Paskibraka team members are tasked with hoisting and lowering the Merah Putih (red and white) flag at the commemoration ceremony of the 78th Anniversary of Proclamation of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia.
“By the grace of Allah God the Almighty, today I hereby inaugurate all of you as Paskribraka team members who will serve at Merdeka Palace on August 17, 2023. May God the Almighty grant you grace and ease in performing this duty for the nation,” the President said during the inauguration ceremony.
On that occasion, the President symbolically pinned a badge for the ceremonial leader as a sign of Paskibraka team inauguration.
Prior to the inauguration, Paskibraka team members took a pledge led by Head of the Agency for the Fostering of the State Ideology of Pancasila (BPIP) Yudian Wahyudi, followed by the reverberation of national anthem Indonesia Raya.
Concluding the inauguration, President Jokowi—accompanied by First Lady Ibu Iriana Jokowi along with Vice President Ma’ruf Amin and his spouse Ibu Wury—congratulated the Paskibraka team members and had conversation with them.
