Commemoration of the Youth Pledge

Indonesia honours the Youth Pledge, a pivotal event that forever changed the course of the nation’s history on 28 October.

In 1928, young Indonesians from various backgrounds united under one banner during the Second Youth Congress, proclaiming their belief in a unified Indonesia with one language and one nation.

This declaration sowed the seeds for Indonesia’s future independence and ignited the spirit of nationalism that continues to shape the nation.
