The Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia (FPCI) is pleased to announce a new partnership and collaboration with an international advocacy organization, Global Citizen. With a set of common goals, Global Citizen will co-host the upcoming annual Global Town Hall this year, which will be held on Saturday, 5 November 2022. With FPCI's partnership with Global Citizen this year, the upcoming Global Town Hall aims to reach a wider audience worldwide.
Since 2020, FPCI has initiated and been running the international consortium of think-tanks from various countries to convene the Global Town Hall – a North-South, East-West meeting featuring world leaders and leading minds to connect with global citizens. At the Global Town Hall, citizens from all over the world gather to discuss the most pressing issues in a 15-hour marathon of foreign policy sessions. This year, Global Town Hall will be conducted under the theme of “Sustaining Peace and Development in a Divided World.”
Since its inception, the Global Town Hall has gathered over 12,000 people from more than 120 countries. The conference has featured speeches from the president of the European Commission, and foreign ministers of Indonesia, Australia, China, European Union, UAE, France, South Africa, and India, as well as the leaders of various international organizations.
