Prof. Hamdan Hamedan, Senior Expert at the Government Communications Agency (Bakom RI), assessed President Prabowo Subianto’s speech at the 80th United Nations (UN) General Assembly as significant, emphasizing not only Indonesia’s commitment to world peace but also its strategic role in ensuring global economic stability.
“Indonesia demonstrates a strong commitment to world peace through its active position in advancing internationalism and multilateralism,” Hamdan said in a written statement on Wednesday (September 24, 2025).
As a country that supports strengthening global institutions, Indonesia highlights the importance of collaboration to address interconnected challenges—conflict, climate change, and food insecurity—that directly influence global markets and economic growth. Prabowo’s address outlined Indonesia’s integrated vision: maintaining peace, achieving food sovereignty, and supporting sustainable economic development. Indonesia’s success in national food self-sufficiency becomes a foundation for global cooperation, enabling the nation to assist others—such as Palestine—through rice aid, while reinforcing supply stability and humanitarian diplomacy.
“This reflects Indonesia’s role as a nation with food sovereignty that contributes to global food security and economic resilience,” Hamdan continued.
Prabowo also emphasized Indonesia’s determination to mitigate climate change as part of its global responsibility—through the 2015 Paris Agreement, a net-zero target by 2060, and massive reforestation programs. These initiatives strengthen long-term economic stability by reducing environmental risks that threaten food production and energy resources. Indonesia’s consistent support for the two-state solution in the Palestine-Israel conflict is also part of its peace-driven economic diplomacy. By promoting justice and humanitarian assistance, Indonesia positions itself as a bridge between regions, supporting both political stability and trade cooperation.
At the 80th UN General Assembly in New York (September 23, 2025), President Prabowo became the third speaker, after Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and U.S. President Donald Trump. His speech was a key moment to affirm Indonesia’s strategic role in addressing global economic challenges, from security and energy to climate and trade.
Prabowo stressed that conflicts and inequality disrupt not only peace but also supply chains and economic equity. He called on the UN Security Council to actively safeguard global stability. Drawing on Indonesia’s historical experience, he stated that justice and equality are prerequisites for prosperity, while oppression leads to poverty. He reaffirmed confidence in multilateralism as a mechanism for fair economic cooperation and expressed readiness to send 20,000 peacekeepers to conflict zones—an investment in peace that supports regional market stability. He also offered Indonesia’s resources and technology to help solve food and environmental crises—linking peace with productivity and sustainable development.
By deconstructing Thucydides’ doctrine of power and Huntington’s clash of civilizations, Prabowo positioned Indonesia’s diplomacy on moral and cooperative economics—where justice, technology, and cultural understanding serve as the foundation of a stable global economy. This speech continues Indonesia’s tradition of peace-based diplomacy—from Sukarno’s 1960 call for a just world to SBY’s 2008 warning on financial crises—affirming that Indonesia’s vision of peace is inseparable from global economic resilience and shared prosperity.
