Trump Praises Speech of Prabowo, Sudibya Values Humanitarian Message of the Indonesian President at the UN General Assembly Amidst the World Riddled with Endless Conflict

Denpasar (Atnews) - Hindu intellectual Jro Gde Sudibya, who also lives in Tajun Village, Den Bukit, North Bali, responded to message of peace of President Prabowo saying that we must live as one human family.

This was conveyed by President Prabowo in his speech at the 80th United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York, United States, on Tuesday (Sep 23).

The message of President Prabowo may remind us of a verse from the Upanishads that is very popular in Bali namely “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.” This theme was also used in the theme of the G20 when India hosted it.

This was translated and interpreted by renowned Indian intellectual, professor of Eastern philosophy at Oxford University, author of the world-renowned book Indian Philosophy, and later President of India, Sarvelli Radhakrishnan.

“Humans come from the same Father and Mother, namely God, and so they are brothers.” This profound message and spirit of humanity is timeless.

“However, this message is certainly not easy to be implemented in the region of prolonged conflict, rooted in prejudice and even hatred, with a history of endless war,” he said.

“But the spirit of the Vedas or Vedanta awakens all humanity to always echo the values of unity, humanity, tolerance and peace (in the heart) on this earth we share,” he affirmed.

Previously, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto reiterated of full support of Indonesia for a two-state solution to the conflict in Gaza. According to him, true peace will only be achieved if Palestinian rights and Israeli security are recognized and guaranteed by the international community.

“We must have an independent Palestine, but we must also recognize, respect, and guarantee the safety and security of Israel. Only then can we have true peace, a real peace, without hatred and without suspicion. The only solution is a two-state solution,” said the President in his speech at the 80th United Nations (UN) General Assembly in New York, United States, on Tuesday (Sep 23).

On that occasion, the President highlighted the worsening humanitarian tragedy in Gaza and urged the world not to turn away from it. The President emphasized that millions of people are now facing trauma, starvation, and even the threat of death before the eyes of the international community.

“Right now, innocent people are crying out for help, crying out to be saved. Who will save them? Who will save the innocent? Who will save the elderly and women? Millions of people are facing danger as we sit here,” he said.

President Prabowo then emphasized the important role of the UN as a key pillar in maintaining a just international order. According to him, peace, prosperity, and progress should not be the rights of only a handful of nations, but rather the rights of all humanity.

“With a strong UN, we can build a world where the weak do not suffer under duress, but live with the justice they deserve. Let us continue the great journey of humanity toward the ideals, the selfless aspirations that gave birth to the UN,” the President explained.

Furthermore, the President also expressed his confidence that world leaders from various civilizations would rise to demonstrate wisdom and prioritize brotherhood. To that end, he also invited all parties to make the dream of peace a shared vision for a better world.

“We must live as one human family. Indonesia is committed to being part of realizing this vision. Is this a dream? Perhaps, but it is a beautiful dream that we must strive for together. Let us work toward this noble goal. Let us continue the journey of human hope,” he concluded.

A warm atmosphere enveloped the United Nations Security Council Consultation Room in New York on Tuesday (Sep 23), when Indonesian President Prabowo attended the Multilateral Meeting on the Middle East at the invitation of United States President Donald Trump.

Among the world leaders in attendance, there was a lighthearted yet meaningful moment. President Trump, in his introduction to the meeting, did not only speak about the importance of the forum for peace in the Middle East, but also took the time to express special appreciation for President Prabowo.

With a smile and appreciative glances from the delegates, President Trump openly praised him.
