HumasUPNVJ - It is projected by a number of experts and institutions that it will become the fourth largest economy in the world in 2045. This projection is based on various indicators, including economic growth which continues to increase from year to year.
This statement was conveyed by Komjen Pol Fadil Imran while attending the Introduction to New Student Campus Life (PKKMB) at the Jakarta National Development University "Veteran" on the second day which took place at the Tennis Indoor Senayan Jakarta on Wednesday, August 9 2023.
"All of you who are here will continue the nation's struggle towards Golden Indonesia 2045," exclaimed Fadil, to more than 4,000 new UPN Veterans Jakarta students.
He said that the proclamation of 100 years of Indonesia's development had been conveyed by Proclaimer Soekarno in 1945. Later, Indonesia Gold would be achieved when Indonesia was even 100 years old.
Fadil called on all UPNVJ students to continue to protect and oversee the hard-earned results of the heroes' struggles in the past. The youth, he said, must be able to maintain harmony, stability, and all kinds of national diversity.
"The cry of independence will never stop when we declare ourselves an independent nation. We must keep that spirit in our hearts, in our minds, as a form of our love for Indonesia," said Fadil.
Signs that Indonesia is moving towards a golden period in 2045 have been seen since now. Fadil said, Indonesia is a country to be reckoned with in the world, including in the ASEAN region. Indonesia is also considered by many big countries because it is part of the G20 economic bloc.
The projection that Indonesia will become big, continued Fadil, has been seen by a number of experts and observers. Later, in 2024, Indonesia's population is predicted to reach 300 million people, with a large Gross Domestic Product (GDP/GDP) and demographic bonus.
Fadil said that the conditions for Indonesia to become a big country had already been met. Indonesia's natural resources are so abundant, the population is also the fourth largest in the world, and the area of the Republic of Indonesia ranges from a combined 10 European countries. If the map of Indonesia is pasted on the European continent, said Fadil, it will stretch from Iceland to the border of eastern Europe.
"Efforts to realize Indonesia Gold 2045 are not easy, because there are global challenges, there are terrorism, there are drugs, there are corruption crimes, there are ideological battles, and there is democratic turbulence," he said.
Regarding democratic turbulence, this is related to elections, which will take place in Indonesia next year. According to Fadil, students also have an important role in maintaining stability so that democratic turbulence does not occur.
"Elections are the momentum towards golden Indonesia. Each election will determine the direction of national development, will determine national leaders. The 2024 election will be an election to realize a government with overall institutional strengthening, so that we are strong and strong, sovereign politically, economically, socially and culturally ," he said.
"I hope that in the 2024 election, all of you can participate actively, maintain the quality of democracy and good elections," concluded Fadil.
