JAKARTA, (MKRI) – The Constitutional Court (the Court) held a flag-hoisting ceremony to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia on Sunday (08/17/2025). The ceremony took place at the courtyard of Building II of the Court.

Serving as ceremony supervisor was Mundiri, Head of the Pancasila and Constitution Education Center, while the ceremony commander was Police Inspector Eko Dwi Cahyo.

The 80th Independence Day celebration carried the theme “United and Sovereign, Prosperous People, Advanced Indonesia.” This theme reflects the nation’s current and future aspirations for unity, sovereignty, prosperity, and progress.
