During the speech portion of the pageant, the women were given a chance to express their plans if crowned Miss International and share their personal advocacies. Lilliana's speech read: "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika, Indonesia’s national motto that means 'Unity in Diversity'. Indonesia is one of the few countries that has such a diversity of cultures, languages and beliefs. That is why I am a big believer in unity in diversity. This world is a beautiful place because of its wide variety, not similarities, and if I become Miss International, I will spread these positive values and spread the culture of accepting and respecting differences, because I know that every country has their own cultures, character and identities. Therefore, let’s create a perfect solution by learning, understand and appreciating each other."
