IDXChannel - Indonesia believes Southeast Asia must remain a region free of nuclear weapons.
Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi conveyed this statement when chairing the Meeting of the Commission of the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon Free Zone (SEANWFZ) on Tuesday (11/7/2023) in Jakarta.
During the meeting, Retno said the risk of using nuclear weapons use is higher today than at any time in recent history.
"Southeast Asia is still not a truly safe region as long as there are countries that have nuclear weapons," she stated.
Retno also expressed disappointment with countries that still adhere to military doctrines based on nuclear weapons in the Southeast Asian region. With nuclear weapons, one miscalculation can trigger a global disaster.
