Ambassador Sunarko in his remarks emphasized the importance of taking advantage of the special momentum of commemorating Nuzululquran 1444 H to implement the social values of the Koran in social life for all Indonesian citizens in Sudan.

"Among the principles and values of social life taught in the Koran that we need to absorb and practice in our social life and even in establishing relations and cooperation between countries are Ta'aruf (knowing each other), Tafahum (mutual understanding) and Ta'awun (cooperating with each other)”, said Ambassador Sunarko.

Meanwhile, St. Althof Madani, also a postgraduate student at Al-Quran Al-Karim University and Islamic Sciences, Omdurman in his speech explained the wisdom of the nuzulul-quran, especially the role of the Al-Quran as a guide and reference in every aspect of human life.
