Pancasila as the Foundation of National CohesionDuring the ceremony, Deputy Regent Syahdian Purba Siboro read an official address from the Head of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency (BPIP) of the Republic of Indonesia.
The statement emphasized that since Indonesia's independence, Pancasila has functioned as the nation's guiding philosophy, helping preserve unity across the country's vast diversity of ethnicities, religions, cultures, and languages.
"Pancasila is the common home for all Indonesians. Its values serve as the binding force that unites diverse elements of the nation into a strong and enduring national identity," the message stated.
The
BPIP also underlined that Pancasila Day is not merely an annual ceremony, but an important moment of national reflection. It serves as a reminder for citizens to strengthen ideological commitment in the face of rapid global transformation.
In addition, Indonesia's constitutional responsibility to contribute to a global order based on independence, lasting peace, and social justice—aligned with the 1945 Constitution's Preamble—was also reaffirmed.
