76th National Defense Day 2024

The 76th National Defense Day serves as a significant moment to honor the sacrifices of heroes who fought to defend the nation's sovereignty and to reaffirm the commitment of all Indonesians. National Defense (Bela Negara) is not only the responsibility of the military and police but a shared duty of every citizen to safeguard the unity and sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). The core values of National Defense include love for the homeland, national and state awareness, belief in Pancasila as the state ideology, willingness to sacrifice, and basic defense capabilities.

In facing global challenges, tangible contributions from all sectors of society are vital to building a resilient and progressive Indonesia. National Defense extends beyond military actions; it encompasses efforts in various aspects of life, such as the economy, education, and social development. The spirit of National Defense unites the nation, encouraging collaboration and dedication to achieve the national goals of sovereignty and sustainable advancement.

Let us continue to uphold the spirit of National Defense to preserve the unity of NKRI and contribute to the realization of Indonesia's grand vision for 2045. With unity, dedication, and collective commitment, we can secure a brighter future and establish Indonesia as a strong, independent, and globally competitive nation.
