JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto delivered a serious warning after attending a global forum in Davos, Switzerland. He revealed that almost all world leaders are now worried about the potential for World War III.
"Almost everyone is worried about the outbreak of World War 3," said President Prabowo in his speech at the Central and Regional Government Coordination Meeting (Rakornas) in Sentul, Bogor, Monday, February 2.
According to him, at the global level, even nuclear war simulations have been discussed. The impact is said to be widespread, including to countries that are not involved in conflicts.
"Even those of us who are not involved will be affected. Radioactive particles, contaminated fish, nuclear winter can last for decades," he said.
Prabowo assessed that the current world conditions show that the law of power is more dominant than international idealism.
"The strong will do what they want, the weak will suffer," he said.
Therefore, Indonesia still adheres to a free and active foreign policy and non-bloc, but he emphasized that neutrality does not mean being careless.
"If we are attacked, no one will help. We have to stand on our own feet."
He emphasized that Indonesia did not want a war, but the readiness of defense was considered absolute.
"Because we don't want war, we have to be ready for war."
Prabowo also reminded Indonesia's position that is rich in natural resources makes this country strategic in global calculations. In a situation of an unstable world, vigilance and national strength are said to be the key to maintaining sovereignty.
