 Well, tonight, we welcome good friends back to the White House, friends who have been too long absent. In the years since your last visit, President Suardo, much has transpired in your country and in ours, and in Asia and the Pacific, where we both share so many interests. Yet, during these dynamic and often turbulent years, there have been elements of stability, important elements. Most among these has been the wise and steadfast leadership, which you have given Indonesia since 1966. Out of a period of uncertainty and disorder, you have guided your country into the forefront of the Asian community of nations and made its influence felt throughout the world. You will pardon me, I hope, Mr. President, if I recognize here tonight what is already apparent to the nations of the world. And Indonesia, under your leadership, has assumed its rightful position as a great nation of Asia and of the world. A second factor of stability since the 1960s, Mr. President, has been the excellent bilateral relations which have existed between Indonesia and the United States. Our relationship has stood the test of time in a changing world. It's firmly rooted in mutual respect and a clear-sided recognition of where the interests of both our nations lie. Mr. President, I fully share the importance that you attach to the further strengthening and expansion of the relationship between our two countries. To that end, it is my pleasure to announce tonight my decision to nominate as my personal representative to your government, someone well-known to you and in whom I have the utmost confidence, Assistant Secretary John H. Holdridge. I was looking too far away, sir. As you are aware, Assistant Secretary Holdridge is our most senior diplomatic experienced in East Asian affairs. In commending him to the Senate for its advice and consent, I shall do so, assure that no one is better qualified to continue on my behalf the frank and mutually beneficial dialogue which has marked your visit here and which is so essential to the advancement of mutual understanding between our two countries and the achievement of our common purposes. During our most fruitful discussions today, I have had the benefit of your experience and insight. You have clearly outlined the great challenges facing your country, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the other nations of Asia which seek to live in peace. I come away from our talks more convinced than ever that we share this common view, that the greatest need for the countries of Southeast Asia is for rapid, equitable development free from outside interference and in an atmosphere as peace will change. I also appreciated your views on the situation in the Middle East. The special interests of both our nations in that troubled region make it imperative that peace be pursued vigorously. Lasting solutions will not come easily, however, and I earnestly ask that all nations support efforts in this pursuit of peace. In our talks, we devoted much attention to global economic recovery. I'm convinced the world economic conditions will improve with national self-restraint and sound financial management for continued growth. These qualities have characterized Indonesia's economic policy since 1966 and serve as a persuasive example for other nations of the developing world. I would also take note of the important role which Indonesia plays in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. In our view, ASEAN offers the best hope for the fulfillment of national aspirations in the region and it provides an important example of common purpose for us all. Finally, I wish to compliment the wide range of charitable and humanitarian programs inspired by Madam Soharto. Nancy and I personally wish you both good health and the utmost success in realizing the aspirations of your people. I would like to return to the White House to the friends who have made no progress here. In the last few years, there have been a lot of progress, both in our country and in Asia and in the Pacific region, where both of us have made a lot of progress together. This is a dynamic that will often be lost, but there is a lot of important stability. The most prominent among them is the leadership of the rich and the good, which has been given to Indonesia since 1966. From the uncertain and disturbing times, the rich have led the nation to the front of the people of Southeast Asian Nations and have caused the influence all over the world. Forgive me, young people, if I admit at this time something that has been clear for the country of this world, namely that Indonesia under the leadership of the rich has taken the right to exist as a big nation in Asia and in the world. Unfortunately, the second stability since 1960 is a very good relationship between Indonesia and the United States. Our relationship has proven to be a test of time in a world that has continued to change. That relationship is strong in the sense of respect and understanding based on the journey where both countries are important to us. Tonight, I would like to give my nomination to one of the people who has known me well, namely Secretary-General John H. Holdridge, as our leader in the country of the rich. With our conversation today, I am able to use the experience and knowledge of the rich. The rich have taken a clear picture of the big challenges faced by Indonesia, the international relations between the Asian countries and other countries in Asia that want to live in peace. After our conversation, I am sure, even more than before, that we both have this vision, namely that the main need for the Asian countries is rapid and comprehensive development, free from the poverty of the rich and in the change of the rich. I also thank the rich for their support in the Middle East, because the importance of our two countries in the region that is full of challenges is that it is important that the expansion is carried out with full enthusiasm, but the expansion of the rich is not easy to find. And I want all the countries in the world to support the efforts to achieve the expansion. In our conversation, we have paid a lot of attention to the education of the world economy. I am sure that the world economy will continue to be good, with the efforts to improve the health and development of the economy for the next generation. The efforts have been carried out by the Indonesian economy since 1966, and it is an example that will ensure for other countries in the world that are developing. I also want to thank the important role that Indonesia has played in supporting the Asian countries. According to our view, Asia gives the best hope for the national history in that region and becomes the foundation of the important history for all of us. Finally, I want to test the program of human and human, which is in Ilhamidonya, Suharto. In this spirit, let me now offer a toast to the President and the people of Indonesia and to mutual respect, dedication to peace, and our common desire for a better world. I also want to thank the President and the people of Indonesia, and to mutual respect, dedication to peace, and our common desire for a better world. I also want to thank the President, the people of Indonesia, and the people of Indonesia. Once again, I would like to thank the people of Indonesia, the people of Indonesia, and we are very happy to share this message with the people of Indonesia. I also want to thank the people of Indonesia for their good intentions and for supporting the countries, the people of Indonesia and the people of Indonesia. Your Excellency, Mr. President, and Mrs. Reagan, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, once again I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the warm welcome and hospitality accorded me during my present visit to the United States in accepting the invitation of Your Excellency, Mr. President. Your kind words, Your Excellency, have impressed me as indication of the close friendly relation and mutual understanding between our two countries. As I have said this morning, Your Excellency, the main purpose of my current visit is to reiterate the friendship between our two countries. The friendship between our two countries has a strong foundation because there is only a similarity between our two countries, which we hold dear, such as the independence, freedom, democracy, and human rights. We feel the presence of friendship in the deep understanding and support from the United States when we fight and maintain the national sovereignty 37 years ago. The understanding that we have in it, we feel, among other things, is the sadness of the United States, together with other countries, last year, in helping the development of the economy and our society. Your Excellency, Mr. President, the friendship between our two countries has a solid foundation because of the similarity of our two nations with regard to the noble values which we hold dearly, such as freedom and independence, democracy, and humanitarianism. We perceive the manifestation of such friendship from the deep understanding and support of the American nation when we struggled for and defended our national independence 37 years ago. We acknowledge such deep understanding, again, among other things, the willingness of the United States, together with other IGGI countries a dozen of years ago, to assist our economic and social development. For all this, I would like to avail myself of this opportunity to extend, once again, the highest appreciation of the government and people of Indonesia to the government and people of the United States of America. We believe that the problems of the development that we face are also part of the problems of the human race. If up to now, two or three human race are still struggling in the struggle to fight poverty, backache, lack of knowledge, and disease, then that is the real cause of what I said earlier. We consider that the problem of development that we face is also actually a part of the struggle to fight poverty. We think that the problem of development that we face is also actually a part of the that we face is also actually a part of the problem of the human race. If until now, two-thirds of the human race are still striving in the struggle against poverty, backwardness, ignorance, and disease, this clearly indicates the real situation of what I have said earlier. It is therefore necessary to create an international climate that enables the unhindered development of all nations. But today, such a climate is still far from expectation. Today, the world is suffering from a long drawn-out economic recession beside the upheavals occurring in various regions. Indeed, there have been many attempts to raise various concerns, but the result does not guarantee a clear solution. In terms of solving the basic solution and improving the existing conditions from the challenges in this world, then the only answer is that all nations, big or small, strong or weak, both are struggling with the desire to build a new world that guarantees political justice, economic justice, and social justice. This cannot be different. We must be united and work together from all nations in our world. Because with the risk of a connection between nations, the progress brought by the human race and the future, the world must be united and work together from all nations. Indeed, there have been many efforts made to overcome these various disturbances, but the outcome has not ensured its total solution. In the framework of trying to find a fundamental solution and to achieve an overall improvement of the inequalities in the world, the one and only answer is that all nations, big or small, strong or weak, strive together, motivated by the firm determination to build a new world order which guarantees political justice, economic justice, and social justice. Unavoidably, it must be the common stand and concerted efforts of all nations on our unitary planet. Because with a growingly closer relation amongst nations, due to the progress brought about by the human civilization present and in the future, whether we like it or not, we must consider the world as the common homeland of all nations. We hope and believe that under the leadership of the United Nations, we will be able to bring this world to a greater scale, which will end human rights and human rights. In the world that is full of concern, of course, the world view, especially developed countries, is for at least once suitable for the United States. I, under the leadership of the President, the United States will not stop trying to bring stability and prosperity to the world, as well as to ensure the balance of human rights. The power of these great nations, as well as its bright future, which is full of concern, commitment to humanity, giving great opportunities to the United States to take an important role in the efforts of all human beings to create a world that is stable, stable and prosperous. I am aware that it is not easy to build a new world order. There must be, therefore, concrete steps which will at least prevent the deterioration of world developments, which may cause our solitary world to fall into the abyss of greater disaster, which may probably terminate the history of man and mankind. In such a world situation filled with anxiety, obviously the world's attention, particularly of the developing countries, is focused for its obtained times on the United States. We hope and believe that under the wise leadership of your Excellency, Mr. President, the United States will try unceasingly to create world stability and peace and to prevent catastrophe to the human race. The strengths of this great nation, its glorious past history, its commitments to mankind, provide ample chance to the United States to play an important role in the endeavors of the whole of the mankind to create a stable, peaceful and prosperous world. That is all. I think it is a very valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with the President and the U.S. government during my visit this time. I believe that my visit will burden the stability, the understanding, and the cooperation between our two countries, especially in the economy. Finally, let me invite Mr. President and Mr. President to join the class and drink the health and happiness of the President and Mr. President for the cooperation of the United States and for the cooperation between our two countries. It is primarily to carry the common responsibility of creating such a world that I consider as highly significant. The exchange of views that I have had with Your Excellency, Mr. President, and other American leaders during my current visit. I am convinced that my present visit will further reinforce the friendship, enhance the mutual understanding, and expand the cooperation between our two countries, particularly in the economic field. In conclusion, permit me to kindly invite the distinguished guests to the class and join me in a toast to the health and happiness of His Excellency, Mr. President, and Mrs. Reagan, to the prosperity of the people of the United States of America, and to the everlasting friendship between our two countries. Thank you. Over there, she did it without a microphone. Okay, I'll use the microphone. But let me tell you what the world is saying about this daughter of Somerville, New Jersey. They thought she had the voice of an angel. In London, they found her irresistible. Newsweek Magazine said she came across like a rainbow. And Time Magazine calls her a smashing success. You know, Frederick, if you practiced, you could get some decent reviews. I think my mother wrote those. One newspaper referred to you as one of opera's jewels. And you are, and tonight, you dazzled all of us. And we thank you. I think speaking for everyone here. Thank you.
