JAKARTA, RAKYAT NEWS – Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has been named among the top 10 world leaders to watch in 2025 by The Straits Times, one of Singapore’s largest daily newspapers. The publication’s article, titled “Meet the 10 World Leaders to Watch in 2025,” highlights Prabowo as a leader with the potential to significantly influence both regional and global dynamics.

Alongside other prominent figures such as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, Chinese Prime Minister Xi Jinping, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and others, Prabowo’s leadership is expected to play a key role in shaping the geopolitical landscape in the coming years.

His inclusion in this list underscores the growing recognition of Indonesia’s global position under his leadership.

The Straits Times article notes that although Prabowo has only been in office for just over two months, he has already made a notable impact on both regional and global affairs.

His active participation in various multilateral forums, coupled with his government’s decisive actions, has placed him among the leaders who are expected to influence key global trends in 2025.

One significant move highlighted in the article is Indonesia’s ambition to become a full member of the BRICS grouping. This proposal reflects Prabowo’s drive to elevate Indonesia’s role in global economic and political matters, and his efforts to strengthen ties with emerging economies.

The article also sheds light on Prabowo’s foreign engagements during his first 100 days in office, which include visits to China and the United States, as well as participation in key international summits. These include the APEC Summit in Peru and the G20 Summit in Brazil.
