JAKARTA - President Prabowo Subianto considers that Germany needs to play a bigger role in maintaining world stability amid increasing conflicts and global geopolitical uncertainty.
The message was conveyed by Prabowo when he met with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, Monday, June 15.
The second meeting between the two leaders took place when the world was facing various tensions, ranging from wars in a number of regions, great power competition, to challenges to economic stability and international security.
Prabowo said Indonesia and Germany had the same view that conflicts should be resolved through negotiation and diplomacy.
"We agree that all conflicts must be resolved through negotiations. We cooperate in the field of diplomacy to improve and ensure global peace and stability," said Prabowo.
According to Prabowo, Indonesia needs closer relations with Germany and the European region, especially because the role of these countries remains important in building international balance and cooperation.
"I strongly believe that Germany must play a more active and important role because we need a good partnership with Germany and with Europe," said Prabowo.
He assessed that President Steinmeier's visit was a strong signal that Jakarta and Berlin's relations had strategic value, not only in the economic field, but also in facing increasingly complex global challenges.
