The speech (Sukarno's address to PPKI) turned into a discussion which later resulted in a document, which is the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution that reflected the vision of the new world order.Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Preamble to the 1945 Constitution reflects the essence of the New World Order aspired to by the international community, Khatib Aam of Nahdlatul Ulama's General Management (PBNU), KH Yahya Cholil Staquf (Gus Yahya), has said.
"From its contents, the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution represents the life of the New World Order that the global community has aspired towards," he noted in a statement received here on Thursday.
According to Yahya, the world's nations have made a consensus to build a new, more stable, and peaceful world order as envisioned by the Charter of the United Nations on June 26, 1945.
However, three weeks before the charter officially prevailed, the first Indonesian President, Sukarno, had delivered a speech about Pancasila, Indonesia's ideology, in front of the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI) on June 1, 1945, he pointed out.
"The speech turned into a discussion which later resulted in a document, which is the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution that reflected the vision of the new world order. It is incredible," he remarked.
