Indonesia Joins BRICS, Deepens Russia Partnership

News summary

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto skipped the G-7 summit to visit Russia, signaling Indonesia's move toward a more independent and multipolar foreign policy. During the visit, Prabowo and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a strategic partnership agreement that cemented Indonesia's entry as a full BRICS member and expanded cooperation in trade, investment, and technical fields. The partnership involves establishing a $2.29 billion investment fund and proposals for deeper collaboration in military, security, and nuclear energy sectors. Analysts suggest Indonesia's outreach to Russia may raise questions about its traditional neutrality, especially amid global tensions. This diplomatic move reflects a broader trend in Southeast Asia, with countries like Malaysia also seeking closer ties with Russia, particularly in renewable energy. Indonesia aims to balance relations with major powers while enhancing its global diplomatic influence.
