President Prabowo Subianto has called on all Indonesians to proudly display the national flag—the Red and White—wherever they may be in the lead-up to Indonesia’s 80th independence anniversary. This appeal was made during the official launch of the 80th Independence Day logo and theme at the State Palace. President Prabowo emphasized the importance of public participation in commemorating independence through national symbols that represent the spirit of struggle and unity, particularly by flying the Red and White flag. He urged citizens to raise the flag at their homes, schools, offices, and public spaces, highlighting the symbolic meaning of the red and white colors. The President also encouraged meaningful celebrations beyond ceremonial observance, such as engaging in activities that benefit the community, like mutual cooperation, cultural performances, and environmental initiatives. This call to action is part of a national spirit commemorating eight decades of independence under the theme of “Unity, Sovereignty, People’s Welfare, and an Advanced Indonesia,” symbolizing the country’s direction towards progress through unity.
