In his inaugural speech at the United Nations General Assembly, President Prabowo Subianto affirmed Indonesia's commitment to multilateralism, humanitarian solidarity, and a rules-based international order. The significance of the speech was further underscored by the fact that President Prabowo spoke immediately after President Trump, offering a perspective that stood in sharp contrast to Trump’s remarks. In his speech, President Prabowo conveyed a significant set of commitments that could even be regarded as a breakthrough. One notable example is Indonesia’s pledge to increase its peacekeepers to 20,000 personnel, a substantial increase from the current deployment of 2,775 personnel. Regarding the world order, President Prabowo underscored the importance of enhancing the representation of the Global South in strategic multilateral forums, including the UN Security Council and the World Trade Organization (WTO). However, many observers have noted that there has been limited concrete follow-up since the speech.

This session will explore the trajectory of Indonesia’s multilateral diplomacy following President Prabowo’s address at the UN General Assembly. The discussion will highlight how Indonesia envisions and positions multilateral diplomacy as a priority within its foreign policy agenda.

Dalam pidato perdananya di Sidang Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (PBB), Presiden Prabowo Subianto menegaskan komitmen Indonesia terhadap multilateralisme, solidaritas kemanusiaan, dan tatanan internasional berbasis aturan (international rules-based order). Pidato ini cukup bermakna karena Presiden Prabowo berbicara setelah Presiden Trump dan menyampaikan pesan yang bertolak belakang dengan Presiden Trump. Dalam pidatonya, Presiden Prabowo menyampaikan komitmen yang cukup signifikan, bahkan dapat dinilai sebagai terobosan. Sebagai contoh, komitmen Indonesia untuk menambah pasukan perdamaian hingga 20 ribu personil. Jika dibandingkan dengan posisi hari ini, Indonesia sudah menerjunkan 2.775 personil. Dalam hal tatanan dunia (world order), Presiden Prabowo menekankan pentingnya keterwakilan negara Dunia Selatan (Global South) dalam forum-forum strategis multilateral, seperti Dewan Keamanan PBB dan World Trade Organization (WTO). Namun demikian, banyak pengamat mengatakan kurangnya tindak lanjut dari pidato tersebut.

Sesi ini akan membahas arah diplomasi multilateral Indonesia yang terus berkembang setelah pidato Presiden Prabowo di Sidang Umum PBB. Diskusi ini akan menyoroti bagaimana Indonesia memproyeksikan diplomasi multilateral sebagai prioritas kebijakan luar negerinya.
