Noudhy Valdryno from the Presidential Communication Office emphasized the importance of unity in upholding harmony and mutual cooperation in everyday life. President Prabowo Subianto’s commitment to the welfare of the people is evident through various programs aimed at improving public well-being. This includes initiatives like the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program and the People’s School project to provide children with better opportunities.
The aspiration to advance Indonesia as a developed nation is driven by enhancing global competitiveness, improving infrastructure, and realizing the vision of Golden Indonesia (Indonesia Emas). The country’s progress is visible through expanded opportunities for self-development, equitable access to education, and a growing sense of national pride. The official 80th Independence Day logo symbolizes unity, with three primary elements representing Indonesia’s national journey.
The theme of unity extends beyond visual design to the government’s commitment to transparency, clarity of policy direction, and public trust. In an era of digital information, there is a need for the public to become more discerning and critical to combat misinformation. The celebration of Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day emphasizes broad collaboration across society, promoting collective pride and participation in commemorating the nation’s achievements.
The official logo, designed through collaboration between various government agencies and the Indonesian Graphic Designers Association, reflects the spirit of joint ownership and shared celebration. President Prabowo Subianto personally selected the design, emphasizing its powerful meaning for the nation. The 80th Independence Day celebrations serve as an opportunity for Indonesians to come together, celebrate achievements, and strive towards a sovereign, prosperous, and progressive future.
