In the meeting under the theme “Strengthening Global South Cooperation for More Inclusive and Sustainable Governance”, President Prabowo asserted Indonesia’s commitment to world peace through multilateralism and fairness in global governance.

“Mr. President also firmly asserted [that he] opposes war and the use of a double standard. He and the majority of distinguished invitees promoted multilateralism reforms and global south representation in global governance, especially in international organizations such as the United Nations. Therefore, BRICS is expected to promote a fairer multilateral leadership,” said Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartanto.

President Prabowo also highlighted the importance of Bandung Spirit in the BRICS forum, a spirit to be adopted to support developing countries and the freedom of Palestine. From Indonesia’s perspective, BRICS should be a balanced power that can echo the voices of the Global South fairly and consistently.

“Mr. President emphasized Indonesia’s strong relations with Palestine and reminded us of the Bandung Spirit to be adopted in BRICS,” the Minister continued.

Meanwhile, according to Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Arrmanatha Nasir, who also joined the Summit, the majority of leaders highlighted the uncertain global situation. “One of the most discussed issues was the importance of BRICS leadership for the global south in order to promote the reform of multilateral system,” he added.

The Minister acknowledged the importance of the Global South’s consolidation and its impact on promoting international stability and creating supportive development for developing countries. Indonesia also asserted its commitment to global reforms and its support for BRICS countries achieving a more inclusive and balanced world order.

“Therefore, the BRICS sought to bring about reforms, and to strengthen the multilateral system,” he continued.
