Sugiono, speaking from Jakarta, presented Indonesia’s experiences in Aceh and Maluku as examples of successful peacebuilding through ongoing dialogue between communities.
He explained that these efforts restored trust and helped maintain national unity in both regions of Indonesia. Sugiono described peacebuilding as a long-term process involving prevention, recovery, and reconciliation, and emphasized the importance of strengthening national institutions and society during each stage. He told the United Nations Peacebuilding Commission (PBC) that nationally-led and nationally-owned initiatives are the most effective.
Sugiono encouraged the PBC to offer stronger guidance and coordinate its work with other UN bodies, like the General Assembly and ECOSOC, while also learning from the experiences of countries in the Global South. Sugiono also advocated for better use of data and technology to improve peacebuilding responses and called for stronger collaboration with regional organizations and financial institutions to broaden the impact of these efforts.
Indonesia intends to continue working with the PBC and its partners to achieve shared peacebuilding goals.
