President Prabowo Subianto brought the spirit of Global South unity to the 2026 BRICS Summit.<\/p>\n
During a limited session adopting the theme \u201cInclusive Global Governance and Strengthening Multilateralism\u201d at Bharat Mandapam, a convention center in New Delhi, India, on Saturday (09\/12), President Prabowo highlighted an Indonesian proverb to underscore the importance of togetherness in facing global challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is an old proverb in Indonesia, \u2018Bersatu kita teguh, terpecah kita runtuh<\/em>\u2019 (United we stand, divided we fall),” he said before the leaders of BRICS member states.<\/p>\n According to the President, the proverb is more than a saying about unity. Instead, it reflects the spirit that has united Asian and African countries for decades in the fight to stand equally, determine their own future, and fight for shared interests.<\/p>\n \u201cThis simple local wisdom reflects the spirit that united countries in the Global South, countries from Asia and Africa, several decades ago in Bandung,\u201d he said, adding that it remains relevant in this era, as the Global South countries share historical experience in fighting for independence from imperialism and colonialism.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the Global South, we feel our voices heard. Countries that only recently gained their independence, that fought against imperialism and colonialism, now unite as equals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The President further stressed that unity brings more power to the Global South to voice their interests, adding that standing together can amplify their voices and strengthen the ability to maintain and fight for their respective interests.<\/p>\n \u201cWe understand that by being united, our voices can be better heard. Our interests can be more protected and prioritized. This remains a very important lesson,\u201d he said.
