DPR: Indonesia's Presence at BoP Ensures Developing Nations' Voices Are Represented
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Deputy Chairman of DPR Commission I, Dave Laksono, has assessed Indonesia's presence at the inaugural Board of Peace (BoP) session as a strategic moment to ensure that voices from developing nations are represented in maintaining global peace and stability.
According to him, Indonesia must continue to champion the importance of justice, equality, and respect for international law, including the rights of the Palestinian people. Regarding the Palestinian Authority's absence from the board, he viewed this as part of an ongoing process.
"Indonesia's participation is not merely symbolic, but also a tangible contribution to building inclusive and sustainable peace governance," Dave said in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He further assessed that every peace forum would be more meaningful if it opens space for all parties to engage in constructive dialogue. In this way, the BoP can become a platform that truly represents global peace aspirations, rather than serving the interests of only a handful of nations.
Furthermore, he said President Prabowo Subianto's visit to the United States, particularly to attend the inaugural BoP session, represents an important step demonstrating Indonesia's commitment to supporting global peace architecture.
"Indonesia's presence at this forum affirms our active role as a nation that consistently prioritises diplomacy, dialogue, and peaceful solutions in addressing international challenges," he said.
To that end, he confirmed that DPR Commission I will carry out its oversight function in accordance with its duties and authority, to ensure that Indonesia's participation in the BoP genuinely delivers strategic benefits for national interests whilst strengthening Indonesia's position as a pioneer of world peace.
