'Pancasila keeps country united'

JAKARTA: President Megawati Soekarnoputri led a celebration of
the 59th anniversary of the Pancasila on Tuesday, calling on
young people to remain true to the principles of the ideology.

Speaking to some 2,000 supporters of her Indonesian Democratic
Party of Struggle (PDI-P), Megawati said Pancasila kept the
country united.

"Pancasila binds together people from different races and
religions in Indonesia," Megawati said.

Pancasila was unveiled on June 1, 1945, by founding president
Sukarno during a session of the Indonesian Independence Study
Board. -- JP
