Berdikari sudah tentu bukan berarti memutuskan sama sekali perdagangan dengan luar negeri, sebab jang dimaksudkan dengan „BERDIKARI” adalah „melepaskan diri dari ketergantungan pada luar negeri”.

In this context being self-reliant should be understood as having our economy standing on its own feet and stepping forward.
