This message was delivered in the event “Reflections and Projections of the Ministry” which took place at TMII, East Jakarta, Friday (27/12/2024).

“Let's start this new year with optimism and a spirit of renewal. God willing, we can achieve the targets that have been set,” Nasaruddin said in a press release on Saturday (28/12/2024).

He recalled the importance of maintaining harmony amid Indonesia's diversity, which he described as a work of art created by God. “Indonesia is a beautiful painting of God. Concord is a valuable asset that must be safeguarded, more valuable than any other natural resource,” he said.

In addition, Nasaruddin stressed the need to establish morality and spirituality as the foundation of the life of the nation. According to him, development without the foundation of moral and spiritual values will not have sustainability.

“The monumental buildings of the world, such as the Pyramids in Egypt, the Kaaba in Makkah, and Borobudur in Indonesia, stand firm because they are built on the foundations of spirituality. Let us make divine values the basis of all our actions,” he said.
