        "content": "<p>Home Affairs Minister Muhammad Tito Karnavian has requested the\nRegional Leadership Coordination Forum (Forkopimda) to maintain\nsolidarity and strengthen communication to support political and\nsecurity stability as the foundation for regional development. In a\nstatement on Thursday in Jakarta, Tito Karnavian said that cohesion\namong regional stakeholders is a crucial factor in maintaining political\nand security stability, which determines the success of development.\n\u2018Therefore, it is extremely important for national unity, integrity, and\nsovereignty,\u2019 said Tito. According to Tito, Java and Bali hold a\nstrategic position as they are the centre of various national activities\nand are inhabited by nearly 60 percent of Indonesia\u2019s population. Hence,\nhe emphasised the importance of preserving political and security\nstability in every region. Development, he stated, can only progress if\nthe regional situation remains safe and conducive. Moreover, even\nsmall-scale conflicts or acts of violence can affect the effectiveness\nof governance and regional development. \u2018If government decision-making\nis disrupted, everything will be disrupted,\u2019 he remarked. Tito urged all\nelements of Forkopimda to continue enhancing communication and\ncoordination, both formally and informally. Based on various\nexperiences, regions whose leaders are able to maintain unity tend to\nresolve problems more swiftly and prevent conflicts from escalating\nfurther. According to Tito, regions with an active Religious Harmony\nForum (FKUB) are generally quicker to detect and prevent potential\nconflicts compared to regions that only activate the forum once problems\nhave already arisen. He also encouraged regional heads, especially those\nwith adequate fiscal capacity, to allocate budgets through the Regional\nRevenue and Expenditure Budget (APBD) to support FKUB activities.\n\u2018Please also enliven the FKUB. Typically, regions that are vulnerable to\nreligious issues will prevent potential conflicts more quickly if the\nFKUB functions well,\u2019 he said.<\/p>",
