        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Coordinating Ministry for Human Development\nand Cultural Affairs (Kemenko PMK) regards Central Lampung Regency as\nhaving great potential to be a model for interfaith harmony for other\nregions. Deputy for Coordination of Character Building and National\nIdentity Strengthening at Kemenko PMK Warsito highlighted the positive\nachievement of Central Lampung Regency in the Interfaith Harmony Index\n(KUB), reaching 80.36 in 2025, above the national average of 77.89.\n\u201cCentral Lampung, with all its pluralism, is hoped to become a model,\nboth at the provincial level of Lampung and nationally, that religious\nplurality is not a barrier, but a strength,\u201d Warsito said in a statement\nin Jakarta on Tuesday. He stressed that peaceful coexistence among\nadherents of different faiths is a crucial foundation in national\ndevelopment and in strengthening social cohesion. Warsito, who is also a\nformer Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA)\nat Lampung University, emphasised the importance of strengthening the\ncooperation dimension in the three pillars of interfaith harmony:\ntolerance, equality, and cooperation. According to him, the cooperation\ndimension still needs strengthening because its national value is still\nbelow the other two pillars, at below 70. \u201cNational data on the KUB\nindex show that the pillar of inter-religious cooperation is still low.\nWe need to realise that cooperation concretely, for example through the\nestablishment of a joint cooperative or cross-religion collaboration\nforums that have direct impacts on the community,\u201d he said. He also\nreminded that infrastructure development needs to be balanced with\nsocial development that includes strengthening social inclusion, social\ncohesion, and community empowerment. \u201cMoreover, digital literacy is also\ndeemed important considering that the digital space often triggers\ndisharmony in society,\u201d he said. \u201cCentral Lampung is a regency rich in\ndiversity of religions and beliefs. We support and are ready to fully\noversee this activity,\u201d said Koheri.<\/p>",
