"This will give us the spirit to always progress in a right way according to sharia," he noted.
The vice president remarked that economic growth was one of the indicators for measuring the progress of a nation, in addition to economic justice. In the third quarter of this year, Indonesias economy grew 5.06 percent.
"Today, we discussed about methods on how to develop our economy (or), the system that we are going to use, as well as the goals we are going to achieve," he explained.
