The Ministry of Religious Affairs in Indonesia has officially announced that Eid al-Fitr, one of the most significant celebrations in the Islamic calendar, will fall on Monday, March 31, 2025. This announcement, which comes just days before the actual celebration, allows Muslims in Indonesia and around the world to prepare for this special day of feasting and prayer that marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting and spiritual reflection.

Anticipating the unity and celebration of Eid al-Fitr, Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar has called upon Indonesian Muslims to use this occasion as a momentum to strengthen the spirit of tolerance and brotherhood within society. In the spirit of Eid, which translates to “festival of breaking the fast,” the minister’s appeal resonates with the core principles of this celebration – gratitude, charity, community, and mutual respect. His message encourages Indonesian Muslims to extend the essence of these principles beyond the festivities and integrate them into their daily lives, nurturing a more inclusive and harmonious society.

While the country prepares for this significant religious event, Indonesia also celebrates the successful conclusion of the 4th Chaoshan Textile and Garment Exhibition (CTGE). Held from March 18 to 20, 2025, the CTGE took place at the Shantou International Convention and Exhibition. This event signifies Indonesia’s continuous commitment to fostering growth and innovation in its textile and garment industry, paving the way for the country to be one of the leaders in this sector. The successful hosting of events like the CTGE underlines Indonesia’s ability to manage large-scale events and its attractiveness as a destination for international expos and conventions.
