“This forum offers President Prabowo an opportunity to address global leaders and share Indonesia’s vision and his own thoughts,” Din said during a press conference on Monday.
The CDCC, in collaboration with Cheng Ho Multi Culture Education Trust, will host the forum under the theme “Considering Wasatiyyat Islam and Tiong Hua for Global Collaboration,” emphasizing Islamic moderation and Chinese cultural values.
Confirmed attendees include Kosovo’s fourth president Atifete Jahjaga, Japan’s 62nd prime minister Yoshihiko Noda, and Indonesia’s 10th and 12th vice president Jusuf Kalla.
Other expected participants are Malaysia’s Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Rustam Minnikhanov, president of Russia’s Tatarstan Republic, Wan Huning, chairman of China’s CPPCC, and Sheikh Mohammed al-Issa, secretary-general of the Muslim World League.
Din also noted plans to invite former US President Barack Obama though organizers were advised to coordinate with the US Embassy due to strict protocols governing former presidents.
The forum will feature peace messages from Nobel laureates, including Timor Leste’s President Jose Ramos Horta (1996 laureate), Kailash Satyarthi (2014 laureate), and Maria Ressa (2021 laureate).
This session aims to strengthen global commitments to building a just, peaceful, and prosperous world.
The World Peace Forum seeks to foster international cooperation by promoting dialogue rooted in diverse cultural and religious values.
During his first year leading Indonesia, President Prabowo Subianto has actively engaged in global peace efforts, including those related to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
On October 13, President Prabowo joined more than 20 world leaders in supporting the Gaza peace agreement signed by U.S. President Donald Trump, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Egypt.
Prabowo witnessed the signing ceremony of the peace deal at the Sharm El Sheikh International Convention Centre during the Sharm el-Sheikh Summit for Peace in Gaza.
Seated directly behind President al-Sisi, Prabowo applauded alongside other leaders after the agreement was signed by the four countries, whose leaders occupied the front row.
