His diplomatic efforts have positioned Indonesia as an active player in global discussions on trade, security, and economic cooperation.

The Straits Times believes that Prabowo’s efforts will support the leadership of Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim within ASEAN in 2025. In particular, his backing is seen as crucial for advancing initiatives related to cross-border investments, supply chain connectivity, sustainable development, and economic growth.

Moreover, the article highlights that Prabowo is not afraid to pursue a foreign policy that deviates from the traditional approaches of his predecessors. His administration has worked to strengthen Indonesia’s ties with both Russia and China, signaling a shift toward deeper cooperation with these major powers.

As Prabowo continues to shape Indonesia’s leadership on the world stage, The Straits Times suggests that his growing influence will likely reshape regional and global geopolitics. His leadership in the coming years could position him as a pivotal figure in global affairs, with significant consequences for both Southeast Asia and the broader international community.
