Today, we commemorate the birth of Pancasila, a moment to reflect on the fundamental values that make up Indonesia’s national identity. Pancasila, with its five guiding principles, stands as the nation’s moral compass. It promotes unity in diversity, justice, and mutual respect among all citizens. On this anniversary, let us remember the importance of tolerance and harmony in building a stronger and more inclusive society. 

The spirit of Pancasila reminds us that differences are a source of strength, not division. Let us continue to uphold these values in every aspect of our daily lives. 

Happy Pancasila Day - may its spirit live on in our hearts and actions.
