The efforts include promoting inter-religions and inter-civilizations dialogues, in the world. As a country of various races, ethnic groups, and religions, Indonesia claims its readiness to share its experiences in living the cultural diversity that has become a part of the daily lives of Indonesian people.

Indonesia will always place the issue of nuclear disarmament as one of its prioritized agenda and consistently support the NPT implementation". Indonesia's Minister for Foreign Affairs stated at the High-Level Briefing on Supporting the Non-Proliferation Treaty Ahead of 2020 Review Conference in New York, the United States on Monday (2/4).​

The High-Level Briefing was held within the framework of the UN Security Council meeting, which was chaired by Germany's Presidency this month. The briefing, led by Germany's Minister for Foreign Affairs and France's Minister for Foreign Affairs, highlighted the limited progress of nuclear disarmament negotiations.

Indonesia encourages that the main goals of the NPT need to be achieved through consistent implementation of its three pillars: pillars of disarmament, non-proliferation, and the use of nuclear for peaceful purposes, in a balanced, comprehensive, and non-discriminative manner. So far, the NPT agreement implementation is still considered impartial and has yet provided sufficient attention towards developing countries' access for the peaceful use of nuclear technology.

The year 2020 will become the milestone for the five-decade commemoration of the NPT agreement officiation. Indonesia plays an important role in the process by acting as the Chair of the Non-Aligned Movement Group for non-proliferation and disarmament, and thus represents the voices of the developing countries.

Indonesia emphasizes that the results of the 2020 NPT Review Conference has to perform progressive steps, especially to ensure the rights of all countries to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Indonesia also affirms its commitment to constructively engage with all parties in the issue of nuclear disarmament as an attempt to establish a safer, more peaceful, and prosperous international world.

Indonesia's Minister for Foreign Affairs stated, "The survival of humanity will depend on our courage to abolish the nuclear weapons, forever". (Min. Foreign Affairs)
