Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria to Visit Indonesia for UNDP
UNDP Goodwill Ambassador Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden will conduct an official visit to Indonesia from September 4-8, 2026.
Her Royal Highness The Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is set to journey to Indonesia from September 4 to 8, 2026, assuming the role of Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The purpose of her visit is to focus on UNDP's initiatives in Indonesia, which include sustainable development, climate action, biodiversity conservation, digital transformation, and inclusive economic growth.
During her stay in Jakarta, Crown Princess Victoria will engage with government officials, development partners, private sector representatives, young leaders, and United Nations delegates. The discussions will revolve around how innovation, digital transformation, and blended finance can expedite progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The program also involves a trip to East Nusa Tenggara, where the Crown Princess will interact with communities and partners dedicated to preserving Indonesia's distinctive natural heritage while generating sustainable economic opportunities through ecotourism and nature-based development.
As stated by Alexander De Croo, UNDP Administrator, "Indonesia is home to innovative and locally led solutions to pressing development challenges, from climate action and biodiversity conservation to digital transformation and inclusive growth. Crown Princess Victoria’s visit is an opportunity to see these innovations firsthand and to highlight how local action can help drive global progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals."
De Croo further emphasized that Indonesia's development journey is marked by robust partnerships and the determination of its people to foster a more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable future. The Swedish monarch's visit to Indonesia is appreciated for allowing her to witness local action driving global progress towards the SDGs.
Sara Ferrer Olivella, UNDP Resident Representative in Indonesia, expressed the organization's honor in welcoming Crown Princess Victoria to Indonesia to experience the creativity, innovation, and local leadership behind development solutions that matter for both Indonesia and the world. These examples demonstrate how local action can contribute to global progress.
Crown Princess Victoria was appointed as UNDP Goodwill Ambassador in October 2023. In this capacity, she works to raise awareness and mobilize support for the SDGs and a sustainable future where no one is left behind.
