Membaca Kebihakan Politik Luar Negeri Indonesia di Tangan Prabowo

Transcript

00:00International Relations Observer at Gajah Mada University, UGM Yogyakarta, Dafri Agus Salim,

00:06predicts that the foreign policy of Indonesia under the leadership of President-elect Prabowo Subianto

00:13tends to build relations to the East, be it the Middle East or the East Asia region,

00:19especially with China.

00:22Currently, China is the main trading power, even becoming the epicenter of global growth.

00:30We can see, for example, this is interesting, Prabowo.

00:33In the past, when he was campaigning, if I'm not mistaken, in 2019,

00:38there was a tendency that he was a bit uncomfortable with China's presence in the South China Sea.

00:46Many times, and so on.

00:49But lately, even before he was trained, he has visited China more often.

00:55Is he changing his perception of threats or changing his strategy?

01:02It's possible. His strategy is not confrontational, but more aggressive.

01:07With the hope that the interests of Indonesia will be fulfilled.

01:13However, continuing in Dafri, Prabowo is expected to continue implementing

01:17political balancing policies with Western countries, such as Europe and America.

01:23Because on the other hand, China remains a threat to security and defense.

01:29So that closeness with Western countries is still needed to maintain stability and security.

01:37Dafri also estimates that Prabowo's experience in the military field

01:40can bring Indonesia back to being trusted to resolve international conflicts.

01:47In the future, Prabowo will be faced with a rivalry between America and China,

01:52where the geopolitical battle between the two has a wide impact on political and global economic policy.
