Minister of Religious Affairs: Harmony Is the Key to Nation Building
The Minister of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Nasaruddin Umar, emphasized the importance of maintaining harmony among religious communities in Indonesia. This was conveyed during the National Dhikr and Prayer event held at the National Monument (Monas) area in Jakarta recently.
In his speech, the Minister of Religious Affairs stated that harmony is a fundamental asset essential for the success of national development. Without unity and peace amidst a diverse society, the government's efforts to advance the nation will be much more difficult to achieve.
The National Dhikr and Prayer event was attended by various elements of society and religious leaders. The activity aimed to offer prayers for the safety of the nation and to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among Indonesian citizens from various backgrounds.
Nasaruddin Umar also invited the entire community to continue nurturing tolerance in daily life. He hopes that the spirit of togetherness created during the event can continue to be practiced to maintain national stability.
In closing, the government is committed to continuously supporting activities that strengthen national values. Well-maintained harmony is expected to serve as a strong foundation for Indonesia in facing future challenges.
