Ex-foreign minister Retno becomes one of first SUAR award recipients
Former foreign minister Retno LP Marsudi, who currently is the UN secretary-general’s special envoy on water, has received an award from SUAR, a business news site established a year ago, in the first edition of SUAR Prize.
Retno LP Marsudi, a former Indonesian foreign minister and the UN secretary-general's special envoy for water, has been honored with the first SUAR Prize in SUAR's inaugural award ceremony. The award was presented to Retno at an event in Tangerang, Jakarta, recognizing her achievements as a policymaker. The SUAR Prize, launched a year ago by business news site SUAR.id, celebrates leadership and contributions towards sustainable development.
Retno, a trailblazing diplomat who made history as Indonesia's first female foreign minister from 2014 to 2024, has been a vocal advocate for issues such as climate change, sustainable development, and the rights of developing nations on the international stage. She previously received the Agent of Change award from UN Women in 2017 for her work promoting the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and her diplomatic efforts in addressing global challenges.
The SUAR Prize, according to the platform's founder and editor-in-chief Sutta Dharmasaputra, honors individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership and make significant contributions to creating solutions and driving sustainable development in Indonesia and beyond.
