Indonesia suspends participation in US-led Board of Peace amid Middle East war
Indonesia halts all talks on joining the Trump-era Board of Peace due to escalating Middle East conflict involving Iran, citing rising regional tensions and security risks.
Indonesia has suspended all discussions on joining the US-led Board of Peace initiative after the latest military escalation in the Middle East. Foreign Minister Sugiono cited heightened tensions from the widening war between the United States, Israel, and Iran as the main reason for the decision. The country had previously expressed interest in contributing to Gaza reconstruction via the Board of Peace, but now argues that the broader regional conflict makes such commitments too risky. Jakarta says it will reassess participation once the situation stabilizes, while emphasizing its continued preference for multilateral diplomacy and non‑alignment.
