Manado, N Sulawesi (Antara Bali) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has called on the youth to intensify mutual cooperation in a quest to tap social capital for Indonesia's development.
"In four days, on June 1, we will celebrate Pancasila's anniversary. I want to remind everyone about Soekarno's remarks that reiterate the five core principles of Pancasila, which lay emphasis on mutual cooperation," President Jokowi stated here on Thursday.
Jokowi delivered a speech during the celebration of the XII People's Mutual Cooperation Month and the 43rd Empowerment Family Day in Manado.
The president noted that there are still many egos to consider in various sectors, which should be handled together. Thus, the values of mutual cooperation need to be inculcated in the youth as the nation's future.
"Mutual cooperation plays a role not only in honing the nation's spirit but also serving as a huge capital for the future. Mutual cooperation should be carried out not only as a jargon but should also be implemented in day-to-day life," Jokowi emphasized.
Jokowi pointed out that it is not an easy task to enhance mutual cooperation in an era when people lead an individualistic life.
Additionally, the North Sulawesi Governor Sarundajang affirmed that mutual cooperation is the key to maintaining the local wisdom for preserving the nation's heritage. "Mutual cooperation is needed to promote and maintain the local wisdom in order to preserve the nation's heritage for creating common wealth," Sarundajang stated.
The president visited Manado in North Sulawesi to celebrate the XII People's Mutual Cooperation Month. Jokowi is also scheduled to inaugurate a nickel processing plant in Morowali District, Central Sulawesi, on next Friday. (WDY)
