Jokowi: We are at War

Metrotvnews.com, Jakarta: President Joko Widodo said that Indonesia is currently facing warfare. For that reason, the President asked all elements of the nation to unite in winning the battles faced by Indonesia.

"As a sovereign nation, we must realize that we are at war. Not physical warfare, but the war to win peace, prosperity and creating a blissful life for the people," said the president when conveying the state speech at the General Assembly of the People's Consultative Assembly, in Senayan, Jakarta, Friday (8/14/2015).

The victory during the war, continued the president, may be established should all elements of the country unite. Government bodies should be cohesive and not entrapped by each sector's ego.

President also realized the threats of other nations. The terror against Indonesia may be blocked with the Trisakti.

"Trisakti should be the main strategy to block other nations from terrorizing Indonesia," president said.

Moreover, Indonesia has the natural and social resources into becoming a developed country, not just a consumptive nation, but also a creative and productive one.

The goal, the president acclaimed once again, may be reached should all elements of the nation unite and discard their own ego.
