ABRI wants dialog<\/p>\n
In a speech to the Pepabri (ABRI veterans association) meeting
\non Saturday, the Armed Forces Commander Gen. Feisal Tanjung said
\nABRI would promote a climate of dialog among societal groups in
\norder to equalize views, perceptions and interpretations
\nregarding the issues of openness, human rights and the dual role
\nof the Armed Forces.<\/p>\n
According to the Armed Forces commander, the public is
\nbecoming increasingly audacious at expressing their aspirations
\nand their criticism of ABRI's socio-political role. He said that
\nany positive and constructive criticism would be accommodated and
\nused as input to improve ABRI's roles in society.<\/p>\n
We welcome ABRI's efforts to promote this climate of dialog
\nfor various reasons. First, with the process of globalization an
\nera of transparence and openness has emerged. Next, Pancasila
\nDemocracy is a form of democracy which favors consultation
\ntowards consensus. Furthermore, considering ABRI's role as a
\nstabilizing and dynamizing force in development, stable and
\ndynamic conditions can only be assured if a common base of
\nperception exists between ABRI and the non-military regarding
\ndevelopment as a realization of Pancasila.<\/p>\n
