“We are at a difficult moment in history. The international landscape is evolving rapidly, marked by instability and economic protectionism. If we do not act wisely, these changes could become uncontrollable,” the president said on Thursday, Feb. 13.

Prabowo emphasized that Indonesia always upholds the three principles in global diplomacy, the country. firmly supports the two-state solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and urges real efforts to end violence.

“The world cannot allow the cycle of violence to continue. The crises in Ukraine, Gaza, Eastern Congo, and other regions in Africa reflect the broader erosion of global stability. Indonesia understands that rhetoric alone is not enough to face these challenges,” he added.
