        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) \u2013 Jusuf Kalla (JK), Indonesia\u2019s 10th and 12th\nvice-president, has stressed that humanitarian values must be the\nprimary foundation for addressing global crises, whether caused by armed\nconflict or natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p>A sense of humanity that transcends national borders, race, ethnicity\nand religion is an important asset for people around the world to find\nsolutions together, he said during a public lecture at Yale University\nin New Haven, Connecticut, in the United States, this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumanity must be our primary paradigm in facing global crises.\nHumanity transcends national borders, race, ethnicity, religion and any\naffiliation. As long as humanity is our starting point, we can face and\novercome global crises together,\u201d JK said, according to a press\nstatement received by ANTARA in Jakarta on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to around 100 Yale students and lecturers, JK said the world\nwas currently facing a range of interconnected crises. Armed conflicts\nin several regions were unfolding alongside the threat of natural\ndisasters and humanitarian problems whose effects crossed national\nborders.<\/p>\n<p>The former Indonesian vice-president also highlighted changes in\nglobal military power dynamics. He said possession of modern weaponry\ndid not always guarantee that a country could easily defeat its\nopponent.<\/p>\n<p>He said morale, strategy, and mastery of science and technology also\nshaped a party\u2019s ability to deal with conflict.<\/p>\n<p>JK cited the protracted Russia-Ukraine war, Iran\u2019s ability to\nwithstand pressure from the United States and Israel, and the threat\nposed by Houthi armed groups to countries in the Gulf region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrent conflicts show that superiority in weaponry alone is not\nenough. Morale, strategy, and the ability to master and operate\ntechnology are also crucial. Science and human capabilities are\ntherefore important factors in confronting challenges,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on the experience of various conflicts, JK stressed that\nsecurity problems could not be resolved by relying solely on military\nforce. Understanding the root causes, engaging in dialogue and taking a\nhumanitarian approach were also necessary to open a path towards\npeace.<\/p>",
