Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto told world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly that his country is prepared to contribute both troops and financial support to UN peacekeeping operations, including in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and Libya.
“If and when the United Nations Security Council and this great assembly decide, [Indonesia] is prepared to deploy 20,000 or even more of our sons and daughters to help secure peace in Gaza or elsewhere, in Ukraine, in Sudan, in Libya, everywhere when the peace needs to be enforced, peace needs to be guarded, we are ready,” Prabowo declared.
He added that Indonesia would “take our share of the burden, not only with our sons and daughters, we are also willing to contribute financially to support the great mission to achieve peace by the United Nations.”
“Without the United Nations, we cannot be safe. No country can feel secure. We need the United Nations, and Indonesia will continue to support the United Nations, even though we still struggle, but we know the world needs a strong United Nations,” Prabowo said.
