They met with WCC general secretary Rev. Prof. Dr Jerry Pillay, then participated in discussions about unity, mission, ecumenical formation, and communications. They also discussed the WCC Life, Justice, and Peace programme. 

It was a great pleasure to renew our relationship in our respective new responsibilities,” said Pasaribu. Our meeting reaffirmed our shared commitment to concrete collaboration—particularly through a joint solidarity visit to West Papua, coordinated responses to the situation of churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and continued cooperation in the areas of human rights, gender justice, and peacebuilding. With gratitude and hope, we look forward to nurturing this partnership between UEM and WCC as a sign of our common witness to Gods justice, peace, and the integrity of creation.”
