West Java \u2013 The event was held at the West Java Regional Police\nHeadquarters on Wednesday, 4 March 2026. Attending were West Java\nGovernor Dedi Mulyadi, West Java Police Chief Irjen Rudi Setiawan, and\nleaders of Islamic mass organisations in West Java.<\/p>\n
At the outset, General Sigit said that Indonesia is facing a global\nsituation that is not going well. \u201cI honour you all,\u201d he said, \u201con one\nhand we all know that we are facing a situation that is not going well,\nparticularly due to the global situation whose implications can affect\nthe domestic situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the impact of this unfavourable global situation must be\nfaced together. He did not want the world\u2019s state to disrupt Indonesia\u2019s\nnational aspirations. \u201cThat is what we must face together. It is not\npossible to let all this happen and then disrupt what is the nation\u2019s\naspirations, the national goals. Yet the reality is that escalation is\nnot diminishing but is worsening,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He also referred to events in Gaza, Palestine. He said President\nPrabowo Subianto has played a role in helping to reconcile the Gaza\nconflict to pave the way for Palestinian independence.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, in the course of events we see that the escalation is not\nonly around Gaza but has developed to Iran and then there have been\ntit-for-tat moves and it has surfaced in several parts of the Middle\nEast, leading to a very significant escalation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the Police Chief, the retaliatory attacks between Iran\nand the United States-Israel have a global impact. One effect is oil\nprices rising gradually. \u201cOil trade that has long passed through the\nStrait of Hormuz is suddenly affected, which also causes shocks in\ncountries that rely on oil imports,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is something we must\nwatch. The government is pursuing a variety of diplomatic steps to bring\nthese events to a close,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Therefore, General Sigit assured that the government continues to\nstrive to ensure the impact of the conflict does not become too large\nfor Indonesia. He also called on all Indonesians to unite and prepare\nthemselves for developments in the world.<\/p>\n
He recalled the period of COVID-19 when Indonesia was hit by the\npandemic. He said then the government and the people united in mutual\ncooperation to overcome the crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remember that during COVID, all countries faced the same. But we\nunited\u2014the people, the ulama, entrepreneurs, the security forces, the\ngovernment\u2014together, gotong royong, and the problem was solved,\u201d he\nsaid. \u201cThe Indonesian economy contracted by around 2%, but with rapid\njoint action we recovered; the same can be done in the current situation\nif we all stand united.\u201d<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ramadan-gathering-in-west-java-police-chief-urges-unity-and-solidarity-1772636434", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
