The president noted that following this historic event, other nations have expressed interest in having Indonesia participate in their national day celebrations. Countries like India, France, and Pakistan have extended invitations, showcasing Indonesia’s expanding diplomatic influence and growing reputation on the international stage. This demonstrates not only Indonesia’s presence in political and economic realms but also its recognition in ceremonial and cultural occasions worldwide.
