June 1st marks the anniversary of Pancasila, formulated by Soekarno that becomes the foundation Indonesia’s ideology and values as an independent country. Through Soekarno’s words and spirit for independence and against colonialism, FPCI hopes that our friends in Ukraine and Palestine would reinforce their belief and empower them to continue their fight for their independence, dignity, and human rights. His words should also remind us in Indonesia that we must always be consistent in standing up for independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.
