LDII Iftar Gathering Consolidates Islamic Organisation's Role in Strengthening National Consciousness Amidst Global Peace Threats
Ahead of the 10th National Deliberation (Munas X), the Central Leadership Board of the Indonesian Islamic Missionary Board (DPP LDII) held a media gathering and iftar (breaking of the fast) with journalists, as part of efforts to strengthen communication with the press. The event also conveyed the organisation’s strategic direction in responding to global dynamics.
Munas X LDII will be held on 7–9 April 2026 in Jakarta with the theme “Consolidating LDII’s Role in Building a Sovereign, Harmonious, and Civilised Indonesia for World Peace”. General Chairperson of DPP LDII, KH Chriswanto Santoso, stated that this theme is contextual with the current global condition facing uncertainty due to geopolitical conflicts in various regions.
“Prolonged warfare in the Eastern European region and tensions in the Middle East not only affect global security stability but also shake the world’s geopolitical and geoeconomic order, from energy supply chains, food security, to the stability of international trade,” he explained.
According to KH Chriswanto, these conditions serve as a reminder that the Indonesian nation must strengthen national resilience across various aspects—social, economic, and moral dimensions of society. In this context, LDII seeks to take on a role through dakwah that emphasises nationalist values, moderation, and character strengthening of the community.
“When the world faces conflict and geopolitical tensions, Indonesia should instead emerge as a nation that maintains stability, unity, and humanitarian values. LDII wishes to contribute in building a society that is religious, harmonious, and cares about world peace,” said KH Chriswanto.
He explained that Munas X LDII is not only a forum for organisational consolidation and determining leadership for 2026-2031, but also a momentum to formulate LDII’s concrete contributions in supporting national development. Various strategic issues will be discussed at the Munas, including strengthening nationalist values, religious moderation, and preparing human resources through community character strengthening. “These issues represent a refinement of LDII’s eight work programmes, formulated as the 8 Fields of LDII’s Service to the Nation,” he stated.
KH Chriswanto also assessed that the current global situation requires Indonesia to strengthen economic independence and social solidarity. Geopolitical and geoeconomic disruptions stemming from international conflicts have triggered volatility in energy and food prices in various countries, ultimately affecting global economic stability.
“Therefore, civil society organisations such as LDII need to strengthen community social resilience, encourage economic independence, and maintain harmony amidst the nation’s diversity. These are the values that we will continue to advocate in Munas X LDII,” he explained.
Through Munas X, LDII hopes to reaffirm the organisation’s role in supporting Indonesia’s aspirations as a sovereign, harmonious, and civilised nation. In this way, Indonesia is expected to be able to contribute actively in creating global stability and peace amidst increasingly complex global dynamics.
