How Indonesia is Using Diplomacy to call for the end of Russia’s War in Ukraine

KNews.id-Indonesian President Joko Widodo has a diplomatic boast few world leaders can match. Last year he met both Russian and Ukrainian presidents to explore possible paths to peace. If that sounds like a tough call, it’s entirely in line with his ambition to put his country at the “pinnacle of global leadership.”

Indonesia has worked hard to build bridges in the interests of global trade and regional stability. It held the presidency of the G20 in 2022 and this year has chairmanship of both the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and MIKTA, a grouping of five nations including Mexico, South Korea, Australia, and Turkey. All of this puts it at the center of international efforts to manage the diplomatic and economic fallout from the conflict. It is fitting that one of the key voices of the developing world and the largest Muslim majority nation on earth should aim to be a bridge-builder and a stabilizing force for countries that value non-aggression and territorial integrity.

President Joko Widodo sees 2023 as another year of diplomacy. One year on from the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, 141 countries, including Indonesia, voted at the UN to demand Russia’s withdrawal from the whole of Ukraine and an end to the fighting that secures a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace on Ukraine’s terms. That followed earlier UN votes, in March and October 2022, when Indonesia voted with the countries — in total 141 and 143 countries respectively — condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
