Indonesia UN Security Council candidacy

Overview

Indonesia has launched an official campaign for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the 2029–2030 term. During the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, Foreign Minister Sugiono announced the candidacy, stating it is driven by a commitment to strengthen unity and advance global peace through dialogue and the enforcement of international law.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Yvonne Mewengkang previously noted that the bid is built upon Indonesia’s history in peacekeeping, peacebuilding, and multilateral cooperation. The nation aims to act as a ‘bridge builder’ to facilitate dialogue among council members and represent the priorities of the Global South. Key objectives include focusing on preventive diplomacy, conflict prevention, the protection of civilians, and the enhancement of peacekeeping efforts.

Sugiono emphasized that Indonesia intends to rebuild trust in the multilateral system and transform shared responsibilities into effective cooperation. This bid aligns with Indonesia’s foreign policy of maintaining relations with all parties while ensuring space for cooperation. The nation’s mandate to contribute to international peace and justice is rooted in its constitution, supported by a history of involvement in UN peacekeeping missions dating back to 1957.
