CONSULATE GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

KARACHI, PAKISTAN

PRESS RELEASE

Diplomatic Reception on the auspicious occasion of the 66^th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia

KARACHI August 21, 2011: The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Karachi recently hosted Diplomatic Reception on the auspicious occasion of the 66^th Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia was held at Sheraton hotel.

Consul General of Republic of Indonesia Honourable Mr. Rossalis R. Adenan in his address throw the light on the Independence struggle that martyred hundred of Indonesian Heroes in fighting for their sovereignty. Independence for Indonesia, like other countries that have been colonized, is some thing that can not be described with mere words since there were so many sacrifices that our forefathers have provided to achieve it.

Indonesia and Pakistan are brotherly countries that have been enjoying excellent and long standing relations. Indonesia is one of the first countries recognized Pakistan's Independence and opened its embassy just a few week after, in the historic and beautiful city of Karachi, the former capital city of Pakistan.

Since I Started my tenure as Indonesian Consul General to the Province of Sindh In September 2010, I have a lot of opportunities to see the province and know that Pakistani people have great brotherhood feeling, towards Indonesian as they assume Indonesian people as their own brothers. This feeling has provided me with an enjoyable atmosphere in carrying out my duty as consul general. He added.

Pakistan is an important country in this region, endowed with huge natural and agricultural resources as well as beautiful places that could be found in all provinces, including Sindh. The Indonesian Consul General in Karachi asserted that as the second largest province in Pakistan, Sindh has great potentials and play a pivotal role at the Pakistan National Economic and development agenda. Sindh's Capital City of Karachi is the largest port City and the financial capital of the Country that contributes around 30% to the national GDP and more than 65% of national tax collection. The Potentials the province of Sindh have reflects a great opportunities for foreign businessmen, including form Indonesia, to do business with their Counterparts In Pakistan, Sindh in particular.

Like Pakistan, Indonesia has also a great potential. It is A Resources-rich Country, an emerging economy with political stability as a member of the G-20, a Strong Asian democracy, the largest archipelagic country and the fourth most populous in the World. Indonesia is the largest country in the Southeast Asia and founding member and this year as Chairman of ASEAN.

Although Indonesia Still has plenty of problems relating to poverty, inequity, infrastructure and bureaucratic inefficiency, its current economy is going stronger. Indonesia's purchasing power parity is approaching US$ 1 trillion, and its aims to be in the world's top largest economies in the coming decades. Various economic problems raised during the last three years have been responded by a number of critical policy measures to provide safety net for the poor, enhancing and protecting investment in infrastructure and social development.

The Indonesian Consul General in Karachi asserted that Indonesian government under the leadership and guidance of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has been implementing balanced budget, prudent fiscal policy and an anti-poverty-and-pro-poor program which part of our "growth-with-equity" development strategy. Indonesian government has launched a Master Plan to accelerate and expand Indonesian economy in the next 15 years. In Short, Indonesia succeeded in passing through turbulent economic conditions during the past global slowdown, and continues to experience positive economic and political development. With Foreign debt below 30% of GDP, 5% inflation rate, and economic growth rate above 6%, and sound as well as conducive internal conditions, Indonesia has truly become a Sought-after destination for potential foreign investment and business cooperation, including from Pakistan. Based on the great potentials both Indonesia and Pakistan have, the two brotherly countries could take more benefits and advantages for their respective people by further strengthening their bilateral relations.

Finally, Consul General said that as he celebrate the Independence Day in Pakistan, he would also like to take this opportunity to convey warm greetings to the people of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, who also celebrated their Independence Day on the 14^th August, 2011. He express wholeheartedly sincere wishes for a prosperous future to both Indonesian and Pakistani people and best wishes to the Government and the people of Pakistan on the 64^th anniversary of the independence.

Media Tribe> HOW TO BRING ABOUT SOCIAL CHANGE IN PAKISTAN?

0 comments 4:41 AM Posted by Jony Group

HOW TO BRING ABOUT SOCIAL CHANGE
IN PAKISTAN?

I, "Mahmood Mirza," a Lahore-based writer and social activist, and my friends are making efforts to find a roadmap of social change in the sick Pakistani society. We are looking for participation of those who desire to break the status quo and intend to change the prevalent social structure, political and socio-economic system. We want people empowerment through social justice and healthy democratic process.

Please read the following and response to:
mmirza32@hotmail.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Common man has reached the conclusion that the prevalent social structure and the politico-economic system will not serve him. It serves the elite, the corrupt, tax evaders, smugglers and those who enjoy state power. The people feel the need for social change. They are waiting for the change as if it comes from the heaven as a gift. Or else they hope that a mass uprising will someday bring the change as it happened in Iran in 1979. The recent popular uprising in tightly-held societies in Tunisia and Egypt etc. falls short of change in social and economic structures. No. Pakistan is a different case, it is a multi-ethnic nation where certain circles have divisive tendency. We face an organized subversive movement of the Taliban and sectarian militant groups. A directionless uprising of masses will provide opportunity for the divisive forces, subvertionists and militants to fish in the troubled waters.

This means that the movement of social change has to be properly organized, well thought-out and led by responsible persons who ensure that it does not provide opportunity to the enemies both internal and external, to weaken our national solidarity. The movement for change has to be democratic and peaceful.

Questions referred to are four. You may however comment on any of them.

1. What should be the agenda of the change? What changes need to be made in the structure of the society and the political, economic and administrative systems? The agenda must aim at establishing a strong, prosperous and egalitarian system.

2. How to mobilize public opinion behind the agenda and how to bring about behavioural change in the society for nation-building?

3. How to bring about the social change? In other words what should be the mechanism and the process of change?

4. Who will be the agent of change?

Awaiting you response

Living witness shown as dead to protect colleague

Chief Justice Pakistan asked to ensure justice

Islamabad: Aug 17

A responsible judicial official has been alleged to show a living witness as dead in an inquiry against his colleague.

The witness, who is a serving official of Board of Revenue was shown as dead after his refusal to hide facts.

According to a report on a local TV channel, former Secretary Board of Revenue Reayat Khan has filed a complaint in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) against an additional registrar in which harassment was alleged.

Reayat in his complaint said that the additional registrar is using his official position to make life difficult for him.

The Chief Justice PHC ordered an inquiry into the case during which Tehsildar Muhammad Ghulam refused misrepresentation following which he was declared dead more than once in the report.

When contacted, the inquiry officer, who is also an additional registrar said that it was a trying mistake. However, he could not clarify that why Tehsildar Muhammad Ghulam was not included in the report as a witness.

Meanwhile, Reayat Khan, who has served as Secretary in half a dozen departments termed it a lame excuse. He said that what could be the reason behind other contradictions in the said inquiry report.

He said that declaring a serving government official as dead, another wealthy as bankrupt and healthy as ill amounts to playing with the law.

The former bureaucrat said that this is a test case for superior judiciary which is honestly striving for eradication of corruption and rule of law in the country.

He requested the Chief Justice Pakistan to take note of the situation and ensure justice.
