Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. N. Hassan Wirajuda stated that Pancasila (Five Principles of Indonesia’s ideology) gives meaning toward the independent and active foreign policy of Indonesia and this has been shown through many state visits by foreign leaders to Indonesia in the past several months. This message was conveyed by Minister Dr. N. Hassan Wirajuda during the Press Conference following the Foreign Policy Breakfast (FPB) to commemorate the birth of Pancasila which was held on Thursday, June 1 2006, at the Pancasila Mansion, Department of Foreign Affairs.

Menteri Luar Negeri RI, Dr. N. Hassan Wirajuda, menyatakan bahwa Pancasila sangat penting bagi kebijakan luar negeri bebas aktif Indonesia dan hal ini terlihat dari banyaknya kunjungan kenegaraan yang dilakukan oleh para pemimpin luar negeri ke Indonesia bebarapa bulan terakhir. Pernyataan ini disampaikan oleh Menteri dalam jumpa pers selepas acara Foreign Policy Breakfast (FPB) dalam rangka memperingati lahirnya Pancasila yang diadakan pada Kamis, 1 Juni 2006, di Gedung Pancasila, Departemen Luar Negeri.

According to Minister Wirajuda, participants of FPB viewed the importance of revitalizing Pancasila. FPB itself was attended by Islamic scholar Dr. Azyumardi Azra, former Minister for Foreign Affairs Ali Alatas and other prominent political, social and religious figures. Participants also feel that Pancasila is not only to be revitalized but also reactualization, public discourse and reassessment of Pancasila is essential since Pancasila is an open ideology. Thus, it means Pancasila can not be monopolized by any single party.

Menurut Menteri Wirajuda, para peserta FPB memandang pentingnya revitalisasi Pancasila. FPB sendiri dihadiri oleh cendekiawan Islam Dr. Azyumardi Azra, mantan Menteri Luar Negeri Ali Alatas dan pemuka politik, masyarakat dan agama lainnya. Para peserta juga menganggap Pancasila bukan sekedar perlu revitalisasi melainkan juga reaktualisasi, diskursus publik dan evaluasi ulang mengingat Pancasila merupakan ideologi terbuka. Ini berarti bahwa Pancasila tidak dapat dimonopoli oleh satu partai.
