Jakarta – seputar Indonesia.co.id – Indonesia is known as a country that adheres to an independent and active foreign policy. This means that Indonesia does not side with any global power, but remains active in maintaining world peace and order. Since its independence, this policy has been an important part of Indonesian diplomacy on the international stage. This consistency is reflected in the various concrete efforts made by Indonesia to achieve world peace, Thursday (25/9/2025)
*Active Role in UN Peacekeeping Missions*
Indonesia consistently sends peacekeeping troops to United Nations (UN) missions. Through the Garuda contingent, Indonesia has participated in various conflict-affected countries such as Congo, Lebanon, and Sudan. This demonstrates Indonesia’s real commitment to maintaining global stability.
*Peace Diplomacy and Dialogue*
Indonesia actively facilitates dialogue and mediation between conflicting parties. One example is Indonesia’s role in the peace process in the Southern Philippines (between the Philippine government and the MILF group), where Indonesia acted as a facilitator in the peace negotiations.
*Support for Palestine*
Indonesia’s consistency is also reflected in its firm stance in support of Palestinian independence. Indonesia continues to raise the Palestinian issue in various international forums, including the UN and the OIC, as a form of solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.
*Active in Regional and Global Organizations*
Indonesia was one of the founding members of ASEAN, which is committed to stability and peace in the Southeast Asian region. Indonesia is also active in global forums such as the G20 and the Non-Aligned Movement, championing the importance of cooperation, tolerance, and global justice.
*Principle of an Independent and Active Policy*
With this principle, Indonesia maintains independence in determining its foreign policy stance. Indonesia does not bow to pressure from superpowers, but maintains good relations with all countries to create a just and peaceful world order.
Thus, Indonesia’s consistent foreign policy, based on an independent and active policy, has become a strong foundation for achieving world peace. Through diplomacy, contributions to UN missions, and commitment to humanitarian issues and global justice, Indonesia demonstrates that a country’s active role does not have to depend on military or economic power, but on determination and consistency in upholding the values of peace.
