81 YEARS OF INDONESIA

Today marks 81 years of Indonesian independence.

It’s a moment to feel grateful — for being here, for the food shared, the stories told, and the everyday moments spent with the people of Indonesia.

Across this country, countless cultures, traditions, languages and ways of life live side by side. Different, yet united. That diversity is what makes Indonesia feel so alive.

May the years ahead bring us closer, with more understanding, more kindness, and more reasons to celebrate together.

Happy Independence Day, Indonesia.

Here’s to peace that keeps growing — starting close to home, reaching further than we can see, as we Make the World Smile for Peace.
