Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia underscored the importance of strengthening national resilience as the foundation for regional and global resilience at the Group of 20 (G20) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Atlanta, the United States.
Foreign Minister Arrmanatha Nasir said national, regional, and global resilience are interconnected and require effective multilateral cooperation, according to a written statement issued by the Foreign Ministry in Jakarta on Sunday.
“National resilience strengthens regional resilience, which in turn strengthens global resilience,” Nasir said, describing what the ministry called Indonesia’s main message at the meeting.
At the G20 meeting held on October 30-31, Nasir took part in three plenary sessions on geopolitics, energy, and supply chains, the ministry said.
During the geopolitics session, Nasir highlighted the significant impact of conflicts between countries on developing nations, including Indonesia. He called on all parties to pursue de-escalation, prioritize dialogue, and promote constructive cooperation.
Indonesia also emphasized the importance of respecting the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which provides the international legal framework for freedom of navigation.
In the energy session, Nasir stressed that energy security is an integral part of national resilience. Indonesia is therefore continuing to strengthen its energy self-reliance through the B50 biodiesel program and the development of solar power plants (PLTS) with a combined capacity of 100 gigawatts (GW).
“Crises must accelerate the energy transition, not reverse it,” the minister said.
During the supply chains session, Indonesia highlighted the need to ensure the reliability of global supply chains while strengthening the multilateral trading system. Nasir proposed improving preparedness and providing affordable, long-term financing to support these efforts.
He also noted the need to establish more production hubs worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Such efforts are expected to strengthen technology partnerships that deliver mutual benefits to developing nations.
In addition to the plenary sessions, Nasir held several bilateral meetings with foreign ministers from Turkiye, Russia, the United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and other friendly countries.
The ministry said the meeting was part of the agenda of the US G20 Presidency, which will culminate in the G20 Summit in Miami in December 2026.
