Infantry Colonel Didin Nasrudin Darsono drew attention after serving as commander of the Pancasila Day ceremony at the Pancasila Building, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Jakarta on Monday, June 1. Following the ceremony, President Prabowo Subianto, who presided as the parade inspector, requested Didin to meet him. He thanked him and praised the ceremony’s execution. Didin Nasrudin Darsono is a 2001 graduate of the Military Academy. He was born in Sidoarjo, East Java, on July 5, 1979. Currently, Didin serves as the Territorial Section Chief of Military Resort Command 163/Wirasatya Bali. Previously, he was appointed Commander of Military District 0830/Surabaya East.

The Pancasila Day ceremony was held at the Pancasila Building, which now serves as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs office. The building is where Sukarno delivered his speech outlining the ‘Pancasila’ concept as the nation’s foundation during a BPUPKI meeting on June 1, 1945. Every year, June 1 is commemorated as Pancasila Day, marking the anniversary of Bung Karno’s speech. In his address at the 2026 Pancasila Day ceremony, Prabowo Subianto called on all parties to reflect on equitable growth in Indonesia. “Over the past few decades, the economy has grown, but has this growth been evenly distributed? Has it been fairly felt by all Indonesians? Let us honestly confront the realities we face today,” Prabowo said. Prabowo stated that all parties must acknowledge the nation’s weaknesses and challenges. He noted Indonesia is a nation with abundant natural resources. However, he stated that this wealth has not been evenly enjoyed by all citizens. “For too long, our people have been mere spectators to their own wealth,” he added.
