[00:03:00] be trusted. A trusted
[00:06:14] HR, namely community empowerment or
[00:06:17] HR during these 4
[00:06:20] years, yes, 4 years.
[00:06:46] Bright
[00:06:46] this
[00:06:50] is already very protected
[00:06:53] sir in this room we also ask permission to convey
[00:06:57] that in this room also present with us
[00:07:01] Mrs.
[00:07:05] Director General of America and Europe
[00:07:08] Bapakto
[00:07:11] Director General. Pacific and Africa, good afternoon
[00:07:14] sir, and Mrs. Ina
[00:07:17] Hakniningtias
[00:07:19] Krishna Murti, Director General of ASEAN Cooperation, good afternoon
[00:07:23] madam, eh, in delivering this press statement
[00:07:27] Mr. Foreign Minister is also accompanied by two spokespersons,
[00:07:30] namely spokesperson 1
[00:07:33] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Ambassador Ivon
[00:07:36] Mewengkang,
[00:07:39] who also serves as Deputy Permanent Representative of Indonesia,
[00:07:43] the second at PTR New York, and
[00:07:46] Mr. Fat Nabil, Spokesperson 2 of the Ministry of Foreign
[00:07:48] Affairs. Eh, honorable media colleagues,
[00:07:52] without further ado, eh,
[00:07:56] with respect, we would like to invite
[00:07:59] the Minister of Foreign Affairs to deliver a press
[00:08:02] statement. Mr., time and place are
[00:08:05] yours.
[00:08:08] Thank you Mr. Director of Infomet, Mr. Henrik.
[00:08:14] First of all, I apologize for being late because
[00:08:18] as I mentioned earlier, I had a meeting
[00:08:21] before this and I deliberately
[00:08:25] made it at 4 o'clock and a little later so that the room
[00:08:28] would be a bit warm, so friends won't ask too
[00:08:30] many questions.
[00:08:36] Eh, assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi
[00:08:39] wabarakatuh.
[00:08:42] Shalom, Om Swastiyastu, Namo Buddhaya,
[00:08:46] hail, greetings of kindness, rahayu, rahayu,
[00:08:49] rahayu. Respected
[00:08:53] media colleagues,
[00:08:54] thank you for
[00:08:57] attending this afternoon
[00:09:00] and also thank
[00:09:03] you because all this time colleagues
[00:09:07] have continued to follow,
[00:09:09] oversee, and support
[00:09:12] Indonesia's diplomatic
[00:09:14] work.
[00:09:17] Hendra conveyed
[00:09:20] earlier, I felt
[00:09:23] it directly when I was
[00:09:27] the spokesperson and went through
[00:09:31] various challenges in our diplomacy
[00:09:34] and friends
[00:09:37] were always with the Ministry of Foreign
[00:09:40] Affairs, always... to support the Ministry of Foreign
[00:09:44] Affairs, always providing
[00:09:48] accurate and
[00:09:51] precise news, and always upholding
[00:09:54] the dignity of our foreign policy and
[00:09:58] Indonesian diplomacy.
[00:10:01] This morning I just carried
[00:10:04] out the handover of duties with Mr.
[00:10:07] Sugiono, who now serves as the Coordinating
[00:10:10] Minister for Human Development and
[00:10:13] Culture.
[00:10:15] Therefore, on this occasion, allow
[00:10:19] me to open my first briefing
[00:10:22] with one thing:
[00:10:27] My sincere thanks
[00:10:30] to Mr. Sugiono.
[00:10:34] The last two years were not an
[00:10:38] easy time. Geopolitics became
[00:10:41] more complicated, the world moved from
[00:10:45] one crisis to the next
[00:10:47] crisis.
[00:10:50] But in the midst of all that, Mr. Sugiono
[00:10:54] ensured that our foreign policy
[00:10:58] remained consistent with the principle of free
[00:11:02] and active and the mandate
[00:11:05] of the constitution.
[00:11:08] That is what I will continue, I will
[00:11:11] strengthen, and I will
[00:11:13] safeguard. This is not a new
[00:11:16] page, this is the next
[00:11:20] chapter in the same
[00:11:23] book.
[00:11:25] Respected media colleagues, I
[00:11:29] want to start from one fundamental
[00:11:32] thing:
[00:11:35] ministers can change,
[00:11:37] the direction of Indonesia's
[00:11:40] foreign policy
[00:11:43] cannot. Our compass is not
[00:11:45] a minister's personal
[00:11:49] preference, but
[00:11:52] the constitution.
[00:11:56] The 1945
[00:11:58] Constitution
[00:12:01] has given a very clear direction:
[00:12:05] to protect the entire nation,
[00:12:08] to advance general welfare,
[00:12:11] to enlighten the life of the nation,
[00:12:15] and to participate in maintaining world
[00:12:18] order.
[00:12:21] These four goals have never changed since
[00:12:25] 1945 and will not
[00:12:29] change tomorrow morning.
[00:12:33] This is what we call principled
[00:12:36] diplomacy, diplomacy that
[00:12:40] is based on
[00:12:41] principles.
[00:12:44] In an increasingly uncertain world like
[00:12:47] today, principles are becoming
[00:12:50] more important, not less
[00:12:53] important. When many things are changing
[00:12:56] rapidly, the world is looking for partners who
[00:13:00] do not change.
[00:13:04] In an uncertain world,
[00:13:07] Indonesia must be a
[00:13:09] certainty.
[00:13:12] Consistency is not rigidity,
[00:13:15] consistency means that its words can
[00:13:19] be trusted.
[00:13:22] A consistent country will
[00:13:25] country will
[00:13:27] be relied upon. That trust
[00:13:30] is the most valuable
[00:13:33] diplomatic capital that we have built
[00:13:37] for years.
[00:13:41] Respected media colleagues,
[00:13:42] perhaps you are wondering what principled
[00:13:46] diplomacy looks
[00:13:49] like in practice.
[00:13:51] First, our
[00:13:55] diplomacy will always be based on national
[00:13:58] interests and must provide
[00:14:01] benefits for the people.
[00:14:05] Second, free and active remains
[00:14:08] the anchor of our foreign policy.
[00:14:11] Indonesia is not
[00:14:14] bound by any alliance.
[00:14:18] We do not choose blocks, we
[00:14:21] choose principles. We are a peace-loving country
[00:14:26] that wants to be friends
[00:14:29] with all countries, as Mr.
[00:14:33] President Prabowo Subianto often
[00:14:36] says, a million friends are too
[00:14:39] few, one enemy is too
[00:14:42] many. But
[00:14:46] this should not be misinterpreted
[00:14:49] as meaning that we will not be firm if
[00:14:52] the interests of the Republic of Indonesia are disturbed.
[00:14:57] We will always be firm
[00:15:00] for the interests
[00:15:01] of the Republic of Indonesia. In
[00:15:05] the midst of differences, Indonesia
[00:15:08] always strives to be part of
[00:15:11] the solution, not of
[00:15:13] the problem. Free
[00:15:17] but not silent, active
[00:15:19] but not
[00:15:21] blindly following.
[00:15:24] That is how Indonesia builds
[00:15:26] its reputation as a bridge builder and
[00:15:30] peacemaker, and we will
[00:15:33] continue to carry out that role.
[00:15:37] Respected media colleagues, principled
[00:15:39] diplomacy also
[00:15:42] stems from a simple realization:
[00:15:46] we cannot govern the world if
[00:15:49] our own house is fragile.
[00:15:51] This message was also conveyed by
[00:15:55] Mr. Sugiono at the 81st UN General
[00:15:59] Assembly in New York last
[00:16:03] month.
[00:16:04] Our
[00:16:07] diplomacy will continue to be directed to support
[00:16:11] national resilience by
[00:16:14] advancing the major
[00:16:17] and strategic transformation agenda of Mr. President
[00:16:20] Prabowo
[00:16:22] and National Development priorities.
[00:16:25] This is the first and foremost priority
[00:16:28] of our foreign policy and diplomacy to support
[00:16:32] national resilience.
[00:16:35] The measure is simple. Diplomacy must
[00:16:39] be felt at the people's dining
[00:16:43] table, meaning
[00:16:46] that diplomacy also works for food and
[00:16:49] energy security, industrialization and
[00:16:52] digital transformation, defense industry,
[00:16:56] trade and investment, health, and
[00:17:00] our maritime sovereignty.
[00:17:03] We will increase and intensify bilateral
[00:17:06] cooperation for concrete results to support
[00:17:10] development priorities. Examples are already
[00:17:14] before our eyes. To support
[00:17:17] self-sufficiency and food security, we are cooperating with
[00:17:20] Japan and South Korea to increase rice
[00:17:24] production and encourage concrete cooperation with
[00:17:27] Vietnam in investment in dairy
[00:17:30] cattle farming. With Japan, we are also developing
[00:17:33] cooperation in thorium and geothermal
[00:17:36] power plants. With China, we are building
[00:17:40] an integrated electric vehicle
[00:17:43] battery ecosystem,
[00:17:45] and today QRIS can already
[00:17:48] be used for cross-border transactions in Thailand,
[00:17:52] Malaysia, China, and Japan. In the
[00:17:56] last two years, relations with Thailand and Egypt
[00:18:00] have been upgraded to Strategic Partnership, the same
[00:18:04] also with Russia, while
[00:18:07] with Vietnam and France it has become a Comprehensive
[00:18:10] Strategic Partnership.
[00:18:14] This year, for the first time, we are holding
[00:18:17] a C2+C2 dialogue with Turkey and a comprehensive
[00:18:20] strategic dialogue with Turkey, and the next
[00:18:24] one is planned to be with South Korea and
[00:18:28] Qatar.
[00:18:31] In the area of trade, the Cepa negotiations with
[00:18:34] the EU have been substantively completed.
[00:18:38] Meanwhile, Cepa with Canada and Peru
[00:18:41] has been signed this year.
[00:18:44] We will also continue to finalize trade
[00:18:48] cooperation negotiations with GCC,
[00:18:51] Mercosur, Turkey,
[00:18:54] Georgia, Chile, and
[00:18:56] Uzbekistan. But for
[00:19:00] us, an agreement is not the finish
[00:19:03] line. An agreement is the starting
[00:19:06] line, or starting point.
[00:19:09] Therefore, all these cooperation frameworks will
[00:19:13] be translated into action plans, road
[00:19:16] maps, and concrete sectoral
[00:19:19] agreements.
[00:19:22] Dear media friends, national
[00:19:26] resilience also means the state is present
[00:19:29] for every citizen, including abroad.
[00:19:32] Since 2024
[00:19:35] until September this year,
[00:19:38] the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has resolved
[00:19:41] approximately 124,000
[00:19:45] cases involving Indonesian citizens abroad.
[00:19:48] Behind every number
[00:19:52] is a family waiting, waiting
[00:19:56] for news, and parents who want their children
[00:19:59] to come home safely.
[00:20:02] The Indonesian passport must mean one
[00:20:06] thing: wherever you are,
[00:20:09] the state is behind
[00:20:11] you.
[00:20:13] In the future, the protection of Indonesian citizens will remain one of
[00:20:17] our main priorities with a more responsive
[00:20:20] crisis response and integrated digital
[00:20:24] services.
[00:20:28] Dear media colleagues,
[00:20:30] a strong national resilience
[00:20:34] is certainly also directed at strengthening regional
[00:20:38] resilience. We need a stable,
[00:20:41] peaceful, and predictable
[00:20:44] region so that all countries have
[00:20:48] room to grow.
[00:20:52] For almost six decades, ASEAN has
[00:20:55] been the anchor of our foreign policy
[00:20:58] for regional peace and
[00:21:02] stability. And this will not
[00:21:05] change. Towards the 60th anniversary of ASEAN
[00:21:09] in 2027 next year, Indonesia
[00:21:12] will push for a more effective,
[00:21:16] more adaptive, and
[00:21:20] still relevant ASEAN.
[00:21:23] ASEAN does not just have convening
[00:21:26] power, ASEAN must
[00:21:28] be able to produce tangible strategic
[00:21:32] outcomes and maintain peace, strengthen
[00:21:36] trust, and deliver concrete results for
[00:21:39] the people in the region.
[00:21:42] ASEAN must contribute and strengthen
[00:21:46] the regional architecture of Indonesia.
[00:22:20] Real cooperation. In
[00:22:23] 2028,
[00:22:27] Indonesia will also, God willing, have its turn to
[00:22:30] serve as the Secretary General of ASEAN.
[00:22:34] We will use this opportunity to help
[00:22:37] shape the direction and strengthen
[00:22:40] ASEAN's work going forward.
[00:22:44] Besides ASEAN, we will also contribute to
[00:22:47] strengthening regional resilience in the Indian Ocean
[00:22:51] through IORA and
[00:22:53] PIF.
[00:22:57] Ultimately, national and regional resilience
[00:23:00] is the foundation for global
[00:23:03] resilience. For Indonesia,
[00:23:07] the multilateral system and international
[00:23:10] law are not an option,
[00:23:13] but a
[00:23:14] necessity.
[00:23:17] International law must apply.
[00:23:50] developing countries or Global
[00:23:52] South. For that, we will
[00:23:56] continue to push for steps to strengthen the
[00:23:59] multilateral system or encourage
[00:24:02] multilateral reform.
[00:24:06] And we are not just knocking on the door from
[00:24:09] outside, we are also
[00:24:12] helping to fix the house from
[00:24:15] within. That is why Indonesia
[00:24:19] sits on the UN
[00:24:21] Board of Auditors to help
[00:24:24] strengthen the accountability
[00:24:28] and transparency of the UN. This effort was initiated
[00:24:32] by Ibu Retno Marsudi in
[00:24:34] 2022, continued by Mr.
[00:24:38] Sugiono until Indonesia was successfully
[00:24:42] elected in 2025,
[00:24:45] and now it is my duty to
[00:24:48] ensure that mandate is carried
[00:24:52] out well. This is, friends,
[00:24:56] a concrete example of continuity.
[00:24:59] The baton changes hands,
[00:25:03] but the race continues in the same
[00:25:06] direction. The same spirit
[00:25:10] underlies Indonesia's candidacy as a
[00:25:13] non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the
[00:25:16] 2029-2030 period.
[00:25:20] to encourage a more effective,
[00:25:23] representative, transparent,
[00:25:26] and democratic
[00:25:29] UN Security Council. Likewise
[00:25:32] the candidacy of our Minister of Health as
[00:25:36] Director General of WHO,
[00:25:39] for a more equitable
[00:25:43] global health architecture for developing
[00:25:46] countries.
[00:25:50] We will also continue to fight for this
[00:25:53] through our strategic groupings
[00:25:55] such as G20, BRICS,
[00:25:58] MIKTA, OIC, APEC,
[00:26:02] and D-8 so that priority issues of the
[00:26:06] Global South developing countries
[00:26:08] can truly continue
[00:26:10] to be discussed.
[00:26:12] In an increasingly divided world, Indonesia's
[00:26:16] ability to speak with all parties is
[00:26:19] our diplomatic asset.
[00:26:23] In the spirit of Bandung, we will continue to
[00:26:26] use that asset to promote peace,
[00:26:29] including for Palestine.
[00:26:34] Indonesia's stance towards Palestine has never
[00:26:37] changed because our constitution
[00:26:40] has not changed.
[00:26:44] Indonesia will continue to stand with the people of
[00:26:47] Palestine until their rights
[00:26:50] are fulfilled and an independent
[00:26:53] and sovereign Palestinian
[00:26:56] state is realized. The concrete steps
[00:26:59] are clear: protection for the
[00:27:02] Palestinian people, humanitarian aid,
[00:27:06] recovery and reconstruction of Gaza, and
[00:27:10] strengthening the capacity of the Palestinian
[00:27:13] Authority.
[00:27:16] Respected colleagues, all
[00:27:19] of these agendas require a strong diplomatic
[00:27:23] machinery. Therefore, we will continue
[00:27:26] to strengthen the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be more
[00:27:29] adaptive and agile
[00:27:33] in facing a world that is difficult
[00:27:35] to predict. One thing
[00:27:39] I can assure you
[00:27:42] is that we will consistently carry out
[00:27:45] a free and active foreign policy,
[00:27:48] translated into tangible results for
[00:27:51] the Indonesian people. But
[00:27:55] diplomacy cannot run
[00:27:58] alone. We need
[00:28:02] "We need the support of all elements
[00:28:05] of society,
[00:28:08] from think tanks, academia,
[00:28:11] including media
[00:28:13] colleagues. Colleagues are not
[00:28:16] just reporting on our diplomatic
[00:28:19] journey, but also helping to ensure diplomacy
[00:28:22] continues to work for national
[00:28:25] interests. Therefore, I
[00:28:29] want the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' communication
[00:28:31] with the media to be more
[00:28:34] open and closer.
[00:28:38] Our roles may be different, but
[00:28:40] our goal is the
[00:28:43] same: Indonesia's voice is heard
[00:28:47] in the world, and the benefits of diplomacy are felt by
[00:28:51] the people. So if I have to summarize
[00:28:55] it in one sentence:
[00:28:59] a strong Indonesia internally, trusted in the
[00:29:02] region, and heard in the world.
[00:29:06] That is our diplomacy and foreign
[00:29:10] policy, and in an uncertain
[00:29:13] world, Indonesia will remain
[00:29:16] a certainty.
[00:29:19] Thank you, friends, that's what
[00:29:23] I can convey this afternoon.
[00:29:27] I am happy to be able to work
[00:29:31] closely with you in the future.
[00:29:34] Thank you. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi
[00:29:37] wabarakatuh. Walaikum assalam warahmatullahi
[00:29:39] wabarakatuh.
[00:29:42] Thank you, Mr. Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the statement
[00:29:45] conveyed. Dear media colleagues,
[00:29:49] this concludes the press briefing of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:29:52] of the Republic of Indonesia this afternoon.
[00:29:55] We express our appreciation and gratitude for the presence
[00:29:59] and participation of all of you. As conveyed by Mr.
[00:30:02] Minister, the media is an important partner
[00:30:05] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in ensuring that Indonesian diplomacy continues
[00:30:08] to work for national interests. We hope
[00:30:12] that this good partnership and communication will continue to be strengthened
[00:30:16] in the future. Thank you. Assalamu alaikum
[00:30:19] warahmatullahi wabarakatuh about
[00:30:22] him being very serious about
[00:30:26] handling this peatland issue.
[00:30:29] Okay, sir, who else participated, sir? Oh, in that,
[00:30:33] related, TNI Commander, National Police Chief,
[00:30:37] then Ministry of Forestry,
[00:30:40] then BNPB and so on,
[00:30:44] that was a zoom meeting, so it wasn't direct.
[00:30:47] What about the response, sir, regarding neighboring countries
[00:30:50] protesting, sir? Perhaps there is a response from the government.
[00:30:54] Indeed, the impact is on neighboring countries, which is why he is very
[00:30:58] concerned because there are many peatlands
[00:31:01] that are difficult to extinguish, but
[00:31:05] several efforts that we
[00:31:08] have made, of course, I as the chairman
[00:31:11] of the steering committee for forest and land fires
[00:31:15] will discuss this with the president specifically. What will be discussed, sir? Perhaps
[00:31:19] I will convey
[00:31:21] it later
[00:31:24] in terms of personnel, sir? Eh, for personnel, both the TNI,
[00:31:28] police, and eh units
