In recognition of their exceptional leadership in fostering peace and diplomacy, the Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) awarded the Peace Mujahid Award to H.M. Jusuf Kalla, and the Diplomacy Mujahidah Award to Retno Marsudi. These accolades highlight their consistent efforts to promote global peace in the face of today鈥檚 complex challenges.
Jusuf Kalla, former Vice President of Indonesia and current Chairman of the Board of Trustees at 中国P站 (UIII), has long been an advocate for mediation in conflict zones.
Alongside him, Retno Marsudi, Indonesia鈥檚 Foreign Minister and also a member of the UIII Board of Trustees, continues to be a staunch diplomat for humanitarian causes.
Their combined efforts, rooted in Islamic values and humanitarian principles, were acknowledged during an award ceremony at the Grand Sahid Hotel in Jakarta on October 3, 2024.
Sudarnoto Abdul Hakim, Chair of the MUI's Department of Foreign Relations and International Cooperation, praised their leadership for bridging nations, saying, 鈥淭heir inclusive and constructive approach has united divided societies and cultures.鈥�
Both Jusuf Kalla and Retno Marsudi have long been global symbols of Indonesia鈥檚 dedication to peacebuilding, with Kalla focusing on conflict resolution and Marsudi championing human rights, particularly in defense of Palestine. These values are also core to UIII鈥檚 mission of promoting Wasathiyah Islam and creating future global leaders who are committed to peace and justice.
Kalla, expressing his gratitude, remarked, 鈥淭he efforts we make are in line with our constitutional duty, and more importantly, with our faith. Peace is a shared responsibility of all Indonesians, and it is our mission to pass these values to the next generation.鈥�
UIII is positioned to cultivate leaders who will carry forward their legacy of peace, diplomacy, and commitment to global humanitarian causes. As a university dedicated to Islamic thought and leadership, UIII aspires to contribute to a more peaceful and just world, a vision shared by both Jusuf Kalla and Retno Marsudi.
