Prabowo reminds ASEAN not to be carried away by geopolitical rivalries

JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto emphasized that ASEAN must be an example for world peace, while inviting Southeast Asian countries to maintain unity and solidarity amid increasing global geopolitical tensions.

This was conveyed by the President during the Plenary Session of the 48th ASEAN Summit in Cebu, Philippines, Friday, May 8.

Quoted by ANTARA, Prabowo assessed that in the midst of an increasingly fragmented world situation, ASEAN must continue to maintain the principle of peace which has long been the foundation of the region.

In fact, according to him, ASEAN needs to strengthen its role as a global example of sustainable peace can be achieved through dialogue and cooperation.

"The culture of peace in ASEAN must not only be preserved, but we must advance it to become an example for the world. ASEAN must continue to lead, shape its environment, and secure its future. We must truly become a zone of peace," said Prabowo.

The President continued that the current conflict in the Middle East has a major impact on the Southeast Asian region and the global community.

According to Prabowo, this situation should be a reminder for ASEAN to maintain unity through dialogue and collaboration to maintain regional stability.

"Therefore, ASEAN must be a strong and united region. We must also set an example that ASEAN is truly committed to maintaining peace, stability, and upholding dialogue and cooperation," said Prabowo.

The President said the conflict in the Middle East showed how rivalry and geopolitical ambitions only brought losses to the people.

Therefore, Prabowo called on ASEAN countries not to be carried away by the flow of global geopolitical rivalries in order to maintain regional peace.

The President conveyed that Indonesia will continue to contribute to maintaining regional peace through good neighborliness policies.

This, said Prabowo, is in line with Indonesia's view that peace is the key to shared prosperity.

"There is no prosperity without peace and no peace without dialogue and cooperation," he said.
