Selain pembebasan sandera, pelindungan juga diberikan dalam bentuk evakuasi 33 orang WNI dan 7 WNA dari Afghanistan, fasilitasi repatriasi lebih dari 73 ribu WNI termasuk anak buah kapal (ABK), dan pembebasan 7 WNI dari hukuman mati.

Ke depan, pemerintah akan terus meningkatkan sistem perlindungan WNI melalui penguatan infrastruktur dan sumber daya manusia (SDM), percepatan digitalisasi, dan pengembangan kerangka hukum dan kerja sama internasional.
