JAKARTA - Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, Oleh Soleh, assessed that President Prabowo Subianto's visit to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin has strategic significance in the midst of increasingly complex global geopolitical dynamics. Especially related to the conflict in the Middle East and energy security issues.
"The visit to Russia is very important in discussing global geopolitical conditions. This shows President Prabowo's seriousness in realizing world security and peace," Oleh Soleh told reporters, Monday, April 13.
According to him, Indonesia together with Russia can play an important role in promoting world peace. One concrete step that can be proposed is to encourage a permanent ceasefire, especially in the war between Iran and the United States.
"Indonesia together with Russia must speak up for world peace. We can propose a permanent ceasefire between Iran and America, as well as encourage the cessation of various armed conflicts," he continued.
Soleh also highlighted Russia's current strategic position, where President Vladimir Putin is known to be in communication with Iran after the negotiation process with the United States was deadlocked. He assessed, this opens up room for broader diplomacy, including the involvement of Indonesia as a non-bloc country that consistently promotes peace.
In addition to geopolitical issues, said Oleh, the aspect of bilateral cooperation in the energy sector is also an important concern. He hopes that President Prabowo's visit can strengthen energy cooperation between Indonesia and Russia.
"During this visit, President Prabowo can also strengthen energy cooperation, so that oil supplies remain safe and stable. This is important so that there is no price volatility that impacts the national economy," he said.
He added that strategic cooperation in the energy sector would be one of the important foundations in maintaining Indonesia's energy resilience in the midst of global uncertainty.
"With this visit, the DPR hopes that Indonesia can play an increasingly active role in global diplomacy while strengthening national interests in the fields of energy and regional stability," he concluded.
