Indonesia’s 80th Independence Day, celebrated on July 24, 2025, carries the theme of “United in Sovereignty, Prosperous People, Advancing Indonesia,” which reflects a deep reflection on unity and national vision. Noudhy Valdryno, Deputy for Dissemination and Media Information at the Presidential Communication Office (PCO), emphasizes the importance of unity in upholding harmony and mutual cooperation in Indonesian society. President Prabowo Subianto’s commitment to the welfare of the people is highlighted through various programs aimed at improving public well-being, such as the Free Nutritious Meals (MBG) program and the People’s School initiative.
The aspiration of “Advancing Indonesia” involves becoming a developed nation by enhancing global competitiveness, improving infrastructure, and realizing the vision of Golden Indonesia (Indonesia Emas). The official 80th Independence Day logo symbolizes unity through three primary elements, representing Indonesia’s national trajectory. These elements include the core shape symbolizing unity, the Manifestation Line depicting a collective journey, and the complete form representing a progressive and interconnected Indonesia.
Ryno emphasizes the government’s commitment to transparency, clarity of policy direction, and public trust as crucial foundations for national advancement. In the digital age, where misinformation is prevalent, it is essential for the people to be critical and discerning. The collaborative efforts in implementing the 80th Independence Day celebrations aim to engage all segments of society in promoting collective pride and driving progress towards a sovereign, prosperous, and progressive Indonesia.
The official logo, designed by Bram Patria Yoshugi and chosen by President Prabowo himself, represents the spirit of “Joint Ownership, Shared Celebration” to foster unity and pride among Indonesians. Through inclusive and participatory events, the nation commemorates its 80th Independence Day with the hope of a sustainable and inclusive progress across the archipelago.
