Today,

we stand together in grief.

We gathered

to honor

three brave Indonesian peacekeepers.

Earlier today, there was a solemn

ceremony that took place at Beirut

International Airport to pay tribute to

our three fallen peacekeepers from

UNIFIL. All are from the Indonesian

Armed Forces.

They lost their lives here in Lebanon,

serving under the United Nations flag,

serving for peace.

As Force Commander, this is the hardest

moment.

We have not only lost peacekeepers,

we have lost brothers.

They will remain part of this mission,

part of all of us.

Their sacrifice remind us

of the reality of peacekeeping.

UNIFIL is a mission of hope,

but also a mission of risk.

And it is carried forward by people like

them, brave, committed, and selfless.

The three peacekeepers were posthumously

awarded the UNIFIL and Lebanese Armed

Forces medals in recognition of their

dedicated service to UNIFIL's mission in

South Lebanon. They contributed

meaningfully to preserving peace in

southern Lebanon,

and they stood as true advocates of the

enduring friendship and cooperation

between Indonesia and Lebanon.
