The presidential aircraft, carrying the head of state, First Lady Iriana, and his entourage, landed at the Halim Perdanakusuma Air Force base, eastern Jakarta, at 10:05 a.m. local time.
The aircraft made a transit in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, on its way home from France.
Indonesian Ambassador to France Hotmangarja Panjaitan bid farewell to the president and his entourage at the Paris airport prior to their departure.
Earlier, President Jokowi had informed the press that he was convinced that developed nations will assist Indonesia in reducing global warming and carbon emissions following the COP21 in Paris.
"Judging by the results of our bilateral meetings, several countries will help us handle environmental problems through renewable energy, peatland restoration, and forest conservation. I am optimistic (about the assistance)," the president stated shortly before returning to Jakarta on Tuesday.
He said Indonesias participation in the COP21 is intended to lend strong political support to ensure the success of the UN climate change conference.
"The strong political support means that we want to implement our development programs by always complying with the concept of environmental conservation," he affirmed.
Therefore, he added that the government will not pursue higher economic growth at the expense of harming the environment.
"Both of them must continue on an equal footing," he emphasized.
As an island state, Indonesia is among the countries most affected by the impact of climate change. To this end, Indonesia has prepared documents and plans to unveil a special mission during the climate change conference.
"We will continue to urge developed nations to take the lead and assist developing countries in overcoming global warming, such as undertaking efforts to reduce carbon emissions through technology transfer," spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Arrmanatha Nasir remarked.(*)
