Since volunteering as a candidate, Indonesia has intensively campaigned to gain as much support from 193 UN member countries. Competing with the Maldives that represents the Asia-Pacific region, Indonesia tries to win as one of 10 UN Security Council non-permanent members.
Although without veto right, if elected, Indonesia’s voice will be heard more in relation to safeguarding the world security and stability.
