Homepage on Pancasila

JAKARTA: The Pancasila Implementation Supervisory Board (BP-7) plans to open a Homepage on Indonesia's Pancasila ideology on the Internet, its chairman said Tuesday.

"The Homepage aims to disseminate accurate information on Indonesia so Indonesians here and abroad will know how to explain the situation in their country to foreigners," Alwi Dahlan was quoted by Antara as saying.

He said many foreigners criticize the country because they are fed the wrong information.

He added that the BP-7, in cooperation with the Indonesian Embassy in the U.S., also toured several American cities from March 28 to April 6 to conduct an upgrading course on Pancasila for Indonesian students and diplomats.
