JAKARTA - Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto emphasized Indonesia's readiness to take part in the world peace mission, both personnel and financial support.

He said this during a speech at the General Debate of the United Nations 80th General Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters, New York, United States, Tuesday, September 23.

President Prabowo said the world is currently facing various conflicts, injustices and uncertainties. Suffering, genocide and neglect of international law and human rights are a scene every day.

To that end, President Prabowo said the United Nations was needed, to create peace, as well as guarantee justice and freedom for all parties.

"The PBB was established to secure peace, guarantees of justice and freedom," said President Prabowo.

"Indonesia remains committed to multilateralism and every effort to strengthen the United Nations," he continued.

In this regard, President Prabowo said Indonesia was ready to send its sons and daughters, no matter how many, if needed to help secure peace.

"If and when the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly decide, Indonesia is ready to deploy 20 thousand, even more, our sons and daughters to help secure peace in Gaza or anywhere, in Ukraine, Sudan, Libya," President Prabowo said.

"Wherever, when peace needs peacekeepers, we are ready, we will take part," said President Prabowo.

"Not only troops, we are also ready to support mission funding to achieve peace by the United Nations," said President Prabowo.

The President reminded that the world needs a strong UN, because without the United Nations, no one will be able to feel safe.
