New York, United States - The Chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin), Anindya Novyan Bakrie, emphasized Indonesia’s strategic role in addressing key global issues, including food security, energy resilience, and climate change.

Anindya, also known as Anin, delivered the statement after participating in the Private CEO Roundtable on Strategic Investment, Economic Diplomacy, and Impact-Driven Partnerships, held at the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Mission to the United Nations in New York on Monday, September 22, 2025 (local time).

During the forum, Anin highlighted Indonesia’s unique position as a country of stability and peace attributes that are increasingly rare in today’s global landscape. This stability, he argued, gives Indonesia a vital platform to contribute to solving global challenges.

“Here, we talked about how Indonesia is a place of peace and stability something that many cities or regions in the world lack. With this foundation, we can develop food security not just for Indonesia, but for the world,” Anin stated.

He went on to say that Indonesia has strong potential to become a global energy hub, thanks to its rich reserves of critical minerals.

“In terms of energy security, with all the minerals we possess, Indonesia can become a center of global energy,” he added.

From an environmental standpoint, Anin also underscored Indonesia’s key role in supporting global climate balance. He pointed to the country’s vast forest areas, mangrove ecosystems, and coral reefs as critical natural assets.

“These are the very factors that make Indonesia attractive and that’s why we were invited to represent Kadin Indonesia and offer perspectives on all these fronts,” Anin explained.

The Private CEO Roundtable on Strategic Investment, Economic Diplomacy, and Impact-Driven Partnerships was led by Badr Jafar, the UAE Special Envoy for Business and Philanthropy, as part of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80).

The roundtable brought together global CEOs, leading investors, and UAE ministers to align efforts and create actionable pathways for investment in key sectors, including renewable energy, digital transformation, and downstream industries.
