RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - President Prabowo Subianto highlighted Indonesia’s enduring commitment to an independent foreign policy, asserting that the nation remains on the right path by consistently upholding its “independent and active” stance without aligning with any global power blocs.
Speaking during a live broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat’s YouTube channel, Prabowo noted that today’s world is marked by escalating tensions and conflicts, particularly in the Middle East.
While Indonesia is geographically distant from these flashpoints, he emphasized that their impact is still felt due to the interconnected nature of the global landscape.
“Our nation is on the correct course. We do not take sides. We remain on the path of being independent and active, non-aligned,” President Prabowo stated, as quoted by Antara.
He underscored that Indonesia’s foreign policy is rooted in respect for all nations and global powers, maintaining constructive relations without being drawn into international disputes. This approach, he added, reflects Indonesia’s national values of diversity and inclusivity.
“We respect all powers, we respect all countries. That is Indonesia. At home we uphold Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity), and abroad we extend that respect to all nations, religions, races, and ethnic groups,” he said.
Predident Prabowo further explained that this principle has helped Indonesia preserve domestic stability, enabling hundreds of ethnic groups to coexist peacefully. “This is why Indonesia today enjoys a condition of peace. We can live side by side with hundreds of ethnic groups, yet remain harmonious,” he remarked. ***
