Prabowo Subianto And Ambition To Bring Indonesia Back To Become An Asian Tiger
Prabowo Subianto is increasingly playing a significant role on the international stage. In various activities, he appears as a national leader and global figure who is vocal on strategic and security issues. His presence at important forums such as the Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 in Singapore and the summit discussing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza shows his position as a figure who is ready to revive the spirit of global diplomacy.
One of the moments that stole attention was Prabowo Subianto's speech at the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 forum. His speech emphasized the importance of international cooperation to maintain peace and stability. Prabowo raised the issue of the Gaza crisis, called for a ceasefire, and emphasized the need for a sustainable peaceful solution. This speech received widespread praise, including from Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono who called it "both powerful and beautiful."
As Minister of Defense and President-Elect, Prabowo represented President Jokowi at the summit in Jordan and discussed the ceasefire in Gaza. He emphasized four main points: increasing contributions to UNRWA, sending more medical teams and field hospitals to Gaza, being ready to receive up to 1,000 patients from Gaza for treatment in Indonesia, and providing post-traumatic care and education for Gaza children. This step shows Indonesia's commitment to supporting peace in the Middle East. Prabowo's speech not only moved hearts, but also received recognition from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas who praised Indonesia's commitment.
Prabowo's political journey has been long and winding. From a soldier to a party leader, and now President-Elect, Prabowo has shown extraordinary resilience and consistency. Having failed repeatedly in elections, he did not give up. Political observers appreciate his long struggle which has finally borne fruit. Prabowo has proven that with perseverance, a big vision and the ability to embrace various parties, all obstacles can be overcome.
Prabowo's steps in the international arena are also in line with support from President Jokowi, who supports Prabowo's political steps which are inclusive and embrace all parties for the common good. This can be seen in Prabowo's political safaris to various countries to strengthen bilateral relations and promote global peace and security.
The history of Indonesian diplomacy plays an important role in foreign policy. Prabowo revived this spirit through various initiatives in international forums, showing that Indonesia still adheres to these principles.
Important moments in the history of Indonesian diplomacy such as the 1955 Asian-African Conference became an inspiration for Prabowo's foreign policy. Prabowo's steps in international diplomacy reflect the same spirit, trying to make Indonesia an influential country in maintaining world stability and security.
Prabowo not only followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, but also added his own vision to adapt to modern-day challenges. Prabowo's diplomacy reminds us of the glory days of Indonesian diplomacy, but with a more pragmatic and adaptive approach to current global dynamics.
However, this journey is not always smooth. Criticism and challenges remain. Some groups question the politics of cattle trading in Prabowo's cabinet, where political compromises are often made for the sake of government stability. However, Prabowo continues to show his commitment to taking Indonesia in a better direction, by maintaining a balance between national and international interests.
In his speech to foreign investors, Prabowo Subianto emphasized the importance of economic stability supported by healthy politics. He invited investors to invest in Indonesia, emphasizing that this country was open for business while maintaining sovereignty and national interests. This attitude shows that Prabowo is not only focused on politics and security, but also on sustainable economic growth.
Prabowo Subianto is now at an important point in Indonesian history. His leadership on the international stage reflects great passion and courage. With a big vision and strong commitment, Prabowo has the opportunity to lead Indonesia into a new era full of hope and glory.
In the future, the challenges facing Prabowo will certainly not be small. However, with support from various parties, including coalition parties and high fighting spirit, Prabowo Subianto has the potential to become a figure capable of changing the course of Indonesian history. The hope is that Prabowo will be able to make Indonesia become an Asian Tiger again, with a strong economy, a just and prosperous people, and respected by the world.
