We face competition with our creativity, innovation and speed. Since there is no other choice, we must change. The old uncompetitive ways cannot be continued. A new strategy must be created. New ways must be done. We are not enough just better than before. But we must be better than others. Once again, it's not enough for us to just be better than before. But we have to be better than the others.” he said
In addition, the presidential speech also discussed the current global dynamics, "The world we live in together is not always smooth and stable. Not everything is always certain and not always predictable. We are facing the dynamics of the global economy which continues to fluctuate and face geopolitical changes. The economic crisis hit several parts of the world, the climate crisis threatens the world, environmental damage is a threat to us together. he continued
As for the message conveyed by the President in his speech, "We need science and technology that allows us to jump ahead and get ahead of other nations. We need quick, clever shortcuts that are quick. We need superior human resources with an Indonesian heart, with the Pancasila ideology. We need superior human resources who are tolerant and have noble character. We need superior human resources who continue to learn to work hard and be dedicated. Longevity Republic of Indonesia! Happy Pancasila Country! Superior HR, Advanced Indonesia! Independent!". Close it
