Jakarta – Entering a decade of his leadership, President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has made various brilliant achievements on the international stage. Indonesia’s active role in various global issues not only improves the country’s image in the eyes of the world, but also has a positive impact on global peace and prosperity.
Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Mr. Klaus Schwab expressed high appreciation for President Jokowi’s leadership. “Indonesia’s presidency of the G20 occurs at a time when the world is faced with multidimensional challenges, and therefore requires leaders who have extraordinary abilities, leaders who want the trust of all parties. “President Jokowi is not only the leader of the Indonesian people, but a leader who has a global vision, promoting world peace and prosperity,” he said.
President Jokowi’s most prominent diplomatic step was his visit to Ukraine and Russia amidst the escalating conflict. Strategy and Defense Observer from Sebelas Maret University (UNS), Lukman Fahmi, S.IP, M.Si, called the visit a step towards peace. “President Jokowi’s overseas visit is very special. “The reason is, at that time the president brought up a number of important topics for domestic and international interests, one of which was the humanitarian crisis,” said Lukman.
According to Lukman, Indonesia’s role as a mediator in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is not easy. “The reason is, trust is needed from each conflicting party in order to trust Indonesia,” he added. However, the success of this diplomacy shows Indonesia’s capability under Jokowi’s leadership in bridging international conflicts.
Apart from that, the holding of a number of international events in Indonesia during President Jokowi’s era also became the world’s spotlight. Indonesia successfully hosted various high-level meetings, including the G20 Summit and the Asian Games, which not only demonstrated infrastructure readiness but also strong managerial capabilities. Head of Student Affairs at the University of Mataram (Unram), Abdul Faruk, said that this had a positive impact and was able to significantly increase world confidence. “The Jokowi government really wants to fight for Indonesia to be at the same level as other countries,” said Faruk.
Faruk added, this is proof that President Jokowi’s hard work is paying off. “In fact, it makes Indonesia’s position equal to developed countries,” he stressed.
Indonesia’s success in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic has also received international appreciation. With a humane approach and well-targeted policies, Indonesia has succeeded in reducing the number of infections and gradually recovering the economy. This further strengthens Indonesia’s position as a stable and trusted country in the eyes of the world.
Over the last 10 years, Indonesia under Jokowi’s leadership has actively contributed to global issues, ranging from the economy, peace, environment, to humanitarian crises. With a global vision and strategic diplomatic steps, Jokowi succeeded in increasing Indonesia’s role on the international stage.
The world’s increasing trust in Indonesia is clear evidence that Jokowi’s leadership has had a positive impact not only on the country, but also on the global order. A legacy that will continue to be remembered and become a foundation for future generations.
With all these achievements, it is no exaggeration to say that Jokowi’s 10 years of leadership have brought Indonesia to a new chapter in the global arena. An era where Indonesia is not only a spectator, but also an active player who contributes to world peace and prosperity.
