79th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia

On 27 August, at the invitation of H.E. Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia Anita Lidya Luhulima, representatives of the diplomatic corps in Poland and friends of the country celebrated the 79th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Indonesia. 

 Ambassador Anita Lidya Luhulima welcomed the guests:

–79 years ago, on 17 August, the honourable fathers of our country proclaimed the independence of Indonesia. It was a very difficult time for the world, which was struggling with the aftermath of the Second World War. Nevertheless, with determination and a vision for further development, our country has grown steadily to become the third largest democracy in the world, with a stable political system that upholds the values of democracy and respect for the rule of law. Our economy ranks 15th in the world with a GDP of USD 1.34 trillion. From 20 September this year, the Republic of Indonesia will be led by a new President, Mr Prabowo Subianto, who won 81 per cent of the vote in democratic elections.

 The Ambassador also alluded to the extraordinary nature of Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago made up of more than 13,000 islands with a population of 256 million, making it the fourth most populous country in the world. Jakarta alone is home to as many as 8.5 million people.

-There are many challenges ahead of us. In the coming years, we will continue our growth by becoming a leader in introducing green solutions to our economy. This will be exemplified by our new capital, Nusantara – the first smart, environmentally sustainable city in the heart of Borneo’s forest – said Ms Anita Lidya Luhulima.
