Indonesia Under Prabowo Subianto
President Prabowo Subianto inhetired Indonesia's long standing foreign policy doctrine of bebas aktif, or "independent and active." Since taking office on 20 October 2024, his administration has pursued an active diplomatic agenda through bilateral meetings, regional cooperation, multilateral forums, and high level state visits. Building on Indonesia's growing international engagement under previous administrations, President Prabowo has placed renewed emphasis on expanding diplomatic outreach, strengthening partnerships, and maintaining Indonesia's role as an active participant in regional and global affairs.
President Prabowo has repeatedly reaffirmed Indonesia's commitment to an independent and non aligned foreign
policy, describing his approach as a "good neighbour policy" and frequently emphasizing that Indonesia seeks
"a thousand friends are too few, one enemy is too many." Guided by these principles, his administration has
sought to strengthen relations across a diverse range of partners, from ASEAN and traditional strategic partners
to emerging economies and the Global South. Indonesia has also joined BRICS as a full member, continued its
OECD accession process, expanded cooperation through regional and global forums, and remained actively
engaged in institutions such as ASEAN, the G20, and the United Nations.
These engagements offer a window into how Indonesia responds to an increasingly complex international environment. From state visits and summit diplomacy to joint statements and strategic partnerships, each interaction contributes to a broader picture of the country's foreign policy priorities. Rather than offering judgments on policy, Foreign Policy for Indonesia documents where Indonesia engages, with whom, and on what issues, allowing the data to speak for itself.
