        "summary": "A senior expert argues that the economic philosophy of the late Professor Soemitro Djojohadikusumo should serve as a guiding principle for Indonesia's development. He stressed that political independence is meaningless without economic sovereignty, warning that the nation risks a new form of colonisation otherwise. The expert called for strengthening national industry and strategic sectors to ensure equitable welfare and achieve the Golden Indonesia 2045 vision.",
        "content": "<p>The Chairman of the Expert Council of the Association of Indonesian\nIndigenous Entrepreneurs (Asprindo), Professor Didin S. Damanhuri,\nbelieves that the thinking of economic sage Professor Dr.\u00a0Soemitro\nDjojohadikoesoemo can serve as a foundation for building an economic\nsystem that serves the interests of the nation.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, political independence must go hand in hand with\neconomic independence in order to safeguard national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout economic sovereignty, Indonesia will only experience the\nnext form of colonisation, albeit in a different guise,\u201d said Professor\nDidin in his statement on Tuesday, 11 August 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Didin asserted that Indonesia must strengthen\nself-reliance, equitable welfare distribution, and control over\nstrategic national sectors.<\/p>\n<p>The aim is none other than to ensure that one of the constitutional\nmandates, namely equitable national welfare, can truly be achieved in\naccordance with the noble ideals of the nation\u2019s founders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia cannot simply depend on the global economy. The Indonesia\nEmas 2045 target will not be achieved if we merely become a market for\nglobal interests,\u201d said Professor Didin.<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed that the government must strengthen national\nindustry and safeguard the management of strategic resources, because\nthe benefits of development must be felt by society in a fair,\nequitable, and sustainable manner.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Didin added that Soemitro\u2019s thinking is in fact a reminder\nthat the nation\u2019s struggle is not yet complete.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, political independence must be accompanied by\neconomic independence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout economic sovereignty, the nation will continue to face\nvarious forms of colonisation in different guises,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
