Education English | Speech: Celebration of Archipelago Day | Assalamualaikum wr.wb
Good morning,
Ladies and Gentlemen and Gentlemen,
Today, once again we thank God almighty for His grace we can coming celebration of the archipelago, which is held annually on 13rd December .because various bustle, the celebration of this archipelago will be implemented this year. I hope, resignation this time will not reduce the value and meaning of the anniversary of the archipelago.
Themes and sub theme raised on the day of the celebration of the archipelago in 2009 were: makes strong ranks our maritime cooperation with the people and the spirit of national unity, we empower the sea to the archipelago nation. Themes and sub theme I consider this important and strategic. We need to strengthen, reinforce and maintain the integrity and state sovereignty. We also need to empower the sprawling sea of ​​wealth for the prosperity and welfare of the people across the country.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Day of the archipelago, we commemorate to remind us how important it is to maintain the integrity and sovereignty of the unitary republic of Indonesia. Our predecessors have struggled to achieve an independent and sovereign state. Our task now is to establish, maintain, and secure the independence and sovereignty. When the proclamation of independence was played, on 17 August 1945, we simply assert that the unitary Republic of Indonesia's land area is the former Dutch East Indies. At that time, there has been no detailed boundaries, both on land and sea to neighboring countries.
When the international community recognized the independence and sovereignty of our country's sea borders Indonesia is recognized only as far as 3 miles of shoreline. Recognition was based on ordonation of the territorial sea and maritime environments. Of course this is a very serious problem. If the border territory of Indonesia is only 3 miles from the coastline, then our country will be divided by the seas in between oceans, outside the 3 miles into the international sea. The existence of the high seas between the islands will threaten the security, unity and integrity of our nation.
We should be grateful with all the courage and the risks faced by Ir. Juanda who was then serving as prime minister on 13 December 1957, announcing the declaration was read out, to the international community that Indonesia's marine borders are not only limited to 3 miles. territorial sea is the sea that we are all around us among and within the Indonesian archipelago.
So brothers and sisters, may the almighty god continues to provide guidance, direction and protection to us in building the nation towards a better future.
Thanks
Wassalamualaikum wr.wb
