Jakarta, INTI - Indonesia has reaffirmed the importance of fostering inclusive, constructive, and mutually beneficial security cooperation as the global security environment becomes increasingly complex. The commitment was conveyed by the Indonesian Delegation during the plenary session of the 14th International Meeting of High-Ranking Officials Responsible for Security Matters, held in Moscow, Russia, on Thursday, May 28, 2026.
According to information published by Info Publik, the high-level meeting served as a key event within the 1st International Security Forum (ISF) 2026, organized under the auspices of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. The forum brought together senior security officials, national security advisers, and ministers from more than 120 countries and international organizations.
The Indonesian delegation was led by Lieutenant General Tri Budi Utomo, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Defense, and included representatives from the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN), and the Indonesian National Police.
Security Cooperation in a Multipolar World
During the forum, Lt. Gen. Tri Budi Utomo highlighted the significant transformations currently shaping global security dynamics.
“The world is undergoing a major transition. Power is becoming more widely distributed, yet the international landscape is also growing more fragmented, uncertain, and competitive. Therefore, security cooperation must be developed in a practical, constructive, and mutually beneficial manner,” he stated in a written release received in Jakarta on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.
Meanwhile, Mohammad K. Koba, Deputy for Foreign Political Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Political and Security Affairs, outlined Indonesia’s perspective on emerging geopolitical challenges and the importance of preserving international stability during the transition toward a multipolar global order.
He emphasized that shifts in the global balance of power should be managed carefully to prevent confrontation and avoid deeper divisions among nations.
“Indonesia believes that the transition toward multipolarity must be managed wisely. Multipolarity should not lead to bloc confrontation or increased fragmentation, but rather create greater opportunities for dialogue, mutual respect, and practical cooperation,” Koba said.
Addressing Non-Traditional Security Challenges
Indonesia also underscored the need to strengthen international collaboration in addressing a broad range of non-traditional security challenges. Key issues highlighted included maritime security, supply chain resilience, food and energy security, cybersecurity, and the protection of critical national infrastructure.
In addition, Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to its long-standing independent and active foreign policy, while supporting an open, inclusive, transparent, and rules-based regional architecture. This position aligns with the principles of ASEAN Centrality and the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP).
Through its participation in the International Security Forum 2026, Indonesia reiterated the importance of enhancing strategic communication and building mutual trust among nations as essential foundations for maintaining long-term global stability, peace, and security.
Conclusion
Indonesia used the International Security Forum 2026 to advocate for inclusive and practical security cooperation, emphasizing dialogue, trust-building, and collective action in addressing both traditional and emerging security challenges amid an increasingly multipolar world.
