New York, (Antara) - Indonesia will propose itself as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), according to Vice President Jusuf Kalla.
"Right now, we are lobbying with other countries. We need a powerful lobby, so that by 2019, we will propose ourselves as a non-permanent member of the UNSC," the vice president stated at the United Nations Headquarters in New York on Tuesday.
Kalla noted that Indonesia, as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, is considered important as the country will become one of the states that will formulate the policy.
"By becoming a non-permanent member of the UNSC, we will become part of the states that will make the policy and take part in the efforts to establish world peace," he remarked.
Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir stated in Jakarta recently that the country will strive to become a non-permanent member of the UNSC for the 2019-2020 period to maintain regional and world stability.
"We will continue to strive to gain support from friendly countries for a membership in the UNSC. We can contribute significantly to maintaining global stability," stated the spokesman.
He noted that Indonesia has so far contributed to maintaining security and stability in the region, and so, it is now keen to contribute to realizing security and stability at the global level by being a non-permanent member of the UNSC.
"So far, we have contributed significantly to maintaining security and stability at the regional level, and this time, it will be our opportunity to speak louder to make the world more stable, secure, and conducive for global development," he remarked.(*)
