CIFP 2019: The World’s Largest Foreign Policy Conference

History was made when the Conference on Indonesian Foreign Policy (CIFP) 2019 was hosted in Jakarta on 30 November 2019.

The event was described as the country’s biggest festival of diplomacy, which also happened to be the world’s largest foreign policy conference that gathered more than 12,000 enthusiastic participants.

The chosen main theme for CIFP 2019 was Cooling Off The Hot Peace: Strategic Opportunities and Economic Remedies for a Distressful World because it addresses the global issues of geostrategic rivalries, mistrust, disruption and brinkmanship in today’s world affairs. The “hot peace” surrounding many countries around the world represents the biggest threat to the current endeavor for world peace.

Including the opening and closing plenaries and the Nation Building In the Age Of Globalism talkshow, there were 15 conferences grouped into three parallel sessions, rounding up around 50 speakers from Indonesia and the world.

Several notable speakers included Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Indonesia, Mahendra Siregar, Governor of West Java, M. Ridwan Kamil, Ambassador of Germany to Indonesia, H.E. Peter Schoof, Former President of Timor Leste and Nobel Peace Laureate, Jose Ramos Horta, Deputy Governor of Jakarta, Sandiaga Salahudin Uno, British Foreign Policy Group Executive Chair, Tom Cargill and many more.
