Papuaaround.com – Indonesia will send a delegation to the Vatican to attend the funeral of Pope Francis, with Minister of Human Rights Natalius Pigai named among the official representatives. President Prabowo Subianto has appointed several key figures to express the nation’s condolences on behalf of the Indonesian people.

Natalius Pigai confirmed on Thursday that he will be part of the delegation, emphasizing the government’s deep respect for the late Pope. “Indonesia recognizes the late Pope Francis as a global figure of peace, humanity, and brotherhood,” he stated. His remarks echoed President Prabowo’s earlier message of condolence, which highlighted the Pope’s legacy as a moral leader transcending religious and political boundaries.

Despite acknowledging his role in the delegation, Natalius Pigai declined to provide further details about travel arrangements, referring questions to the State Secretariat. “That matter has already been addressed by the State Secretary,” he said briefly in a text message.

The funeral of Pope Francis, leader of the Roman Catholic Church, is scheduled to take place on April 26. In anticipation, the Indonesian government has finalized a list of dignitaries who will attend the event. Alongside Pigai, former President Joko Widodo, Deputy Minister of Finance Thomas Djiwandono, and former Minister of Transportation Ignasius Jonan have also been appointed as presidential envoys.

Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi announced the delegation during a press briefing at the State Secretariat building in Jakarta on Wednesday. “On behalf of the Indonesian government, President Prabowo Subianto has decided to send several representatives to the Vatican for the funeral ceremony,” Prasetyo said.

He emphasized that each envoy was chosen not only for their stature but also for their capacity to represent the nation’s collective mourning. “Among them is former President Joko Widodo, who holds a significant place in Indonesian public life,” Prasetyo added.

The Indonesian government views the passing of Pope Francis as a moment of global sorrow. Officials expressed hope that the presence of these representatives would demonstrate Indonesia’s solidarity with the international community during this solemn occasion.

Travel arrangements for the delegation are currently being finalized. According to Prasetyo, the team may depart as early as Thursday or no later than Friday. “Preparations are underway. If everything goes according to plan, the group could leave tomorrow or by Friday at the latest,” he explained.

Pope Francis, known for his advocacy of social justice, environmental stewardship, and interfaith dialogue, held a respected position among global leaders, including in Indonesia, a nation with the largest Muslim population in the world.

The decision to send a high-level delegation reflects Indonesia’s ongoing commitment to fostering interreligious respect and international peace. As the Vatican prepares to bid farewell to its spiritual leader, Indonesia joins nations worldwide in mourning a figure who championed unity and compassion.
