TNI Commander General Agus Subiyanto expressed his high appreciation to the Garuda Contingent (Konga) TNI Task Force for successfully completing the United Nations peace mission in Lebanon (UNIFIL) for the 2024 fiscal year.
This success not only shows the professionalism of the TNI, but also makes Indonesia proud in the international arena.
During the welcoming ceremony at the TNI Headquarters, Cilangkap, East Jakarta, the TNI Commander's mandate was read by the Chief of General Staff of the TNI Lt. Gen. Richard Tampubolon.
He said the various international and national awards received by the TNI Konga Task Force were clear evidence of the TNI's contribution to defense diplomacy.
"This confession is proof that the presence of the TNI in the international arena brings Indonesia's good name and strengthens defense diplomacy," said Lt. Gen. Richard, quoted from Antara, Thursday, April 24.
The UNIFIL 2024 TNI Task Force received various prestigious awards, including UN Medal from the United Nations, Satyalancana Santi Dharma, the Veterans of Peace Medal, to awards from friendly countries such as the Lebanese Armed Forces Medal and Tanzania Medal. They were also rewarded with a number of brevets and appreciation certificates from UNIFIL ranks.
The TNI Commander said he was proud of the success of the soldiers, especially since they served in the midst of a very challenging situation due to the conflict between Hezbollah and Israel which broke out in October 2023.
"This condition not only demands physical and mental preparedness, but also integrity, intelligence, and high adaptability. The Garuda contingent has proven to be able to maintain the honor and dignity of the Indonesian nation in the eyes of the world," said the Commander.
Even though he returned with full achievements, the Commander reminded the soldiers not to get involved in euphoria. He asked them to immediately adapt to their respective work environments and make the mission experience a provision for self-development and units.
