This is my last opportunity, as Foreign Minister of Indonesia, to represent my country before the General Assembly.
It has been a decade of so many challenges but, at the same time, a decade of Indonesia’s many contributions to addressing global issues. One of them is Palestine. Indonesia cannot — …
I am here today, for the third time in three months, to join the Council’s debate on Palestine in order to reaffirm Indonesia’s unwavering commitment to stand with Palestine, to declare that Indonesia will not rest until we see justice and dignity restored for the Palestinian people. I am also here …
I have returned to the Security Council to attend this meeting because I want to be on the right side of history, defending justice and humanity for the Palestinians.
Indonesia remains enraged about the unfolding situation in Gaza. Indonesia is also increasingly very concerned about the evolving si…
On 26 October, I stood in this Hall to attend the emergency special session, at which Indonesia co-sponsored the resolution on the Gaza crisis (resolution ES-10/21). I have flown back to New York City, back to this rostrum, because I care about justice, about humankind and about Palestine. I cannot …
What happened in Gaza over the last week reflects today’s reality. More than 60 per cent of the fatalities of the attack on civilians are women and children. I must be honest: despite global efforts for empowerment and calls for equality, the reality for women is still far from ideal. Women in many …
Today I am wearing a traditional fabric from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, while members of my delegation are wearing diverse traditional fabrics representing the diversity of more than 1,000 ethnicities in Indonesia. We are diverse, but we are one.

Year after year, while we are busy delivering statements here at the United Nations, the situation in Palestine is getting wor…
Many leaders have spoken here over the past few days. We share the same concerns. The current state of our world is very worrying. The pandemic persists and the global economy remains sluggish. War among nations is no longer a mere possibility but has become a reality. The violation of international…
I have the great honour to introduce a pre-recorded statement by His Excellency Mr. Joko Widodo, President of the Republic of Indonesia, on the occasion of the general debate at the seventy-sixth session of the General Assembly.
I am here today to fight for humanity and for justice for the Palestinian people.

Indonesia shares the view of the briefers that partnership with all stakeholders and at all levels is highly pertinent when addressing peace and security challenges in Africa. Indonesia’s partnership with Africa began in the days of our forefathers as they fought for independence. Since then, our re…
I thank you, Sir, for organizing this important debate.
This topic is not a new issue for us, but remains very relevant today. Therefore, Indonesia has set counter- terrorism and synergy between the United Nations and regional organizations as two of four Indonesian priorities during its term on th…
Our meeting today is very timely. It shows our solidarity with the people of New Zealand and other countries affected by terrorist attacks. The attack on Muslims while they were conducting Friday prayers was heinous and cowardly. The Government and the people of Indonesia strongly condemn it.
Indee…
The very existence of nuclear weapons is threatening the world’s existence. Their total elimination is the only guarantee of avoiding a global catastrophe. Indonesia is therefore a strong and consistent supporter of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), whose objectives can b…
I wish to applaud you, Mr. President, for convening this important meeting. I also thank the briefers for their insightful presentations.
Climate change is real, and it is happening now. I was born in Semarang — a peaceful coastal city of the island of Java, Indonesia. It is located in a low-lying …

I would first like to express my appreciation to Poland for organizing today’s debate.
This week Indonesia experienced a series of terrorist attacks. As a nation, we are not afraid. I repeat, we are not afraid. We will not give space to violent extremism or terrorism. Our whole nation is standing t…

While noting that efforts to make Uni…
Much has changed since the adoption and review of the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. Indonesia calls for enhancing global efforts to curb trafficking in persons, which is contrary to global efforts to achieve a decent life and is an obstacle in our quest for a…
I thank you, Mr. President, for organizing this open debate.
Instability and prolonged conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa continue to cause a high number of causalities and material costs. The international community must work harder in concert to tackle this issue. In our view, a politi…
