        "summary": "Indonesia's Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia has called for enhanced regional collaboration among Indo-Pacific nations to strengthen energy security in the face of geopolitical tensions and supply uncertainty. Speaking at the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum in Tokyo, Bahlil highlighted Indonesia's substantial contributions to global energy supply, including the export of 150 liquefied natural gas cargoes in 2025 and approximately half of the world's traded coal, whilst noting that countries must prioritise domestic energy needs if mutually beneficial international cooperation cannot be secured.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 Indonesia\u2019s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources,\nBahlil Lahadalia, has emphasised the importance of mutually beneficial\ncollaboration among nations amid current global energy supply\nuncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>He made the remarks whilst addressing Indo-Pacific Energy Ministers\nat the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business (IPEM)\nForum, held in Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmid current uncertainty in global energy supply, we need to\nstrengthen collaboration that lifts each other up rather than tearing\neach other down,\u201d Bahlil stated on Sunday, 15 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that amidst present geopolitical tensions, energy resilience\nhas again become a focal point within the forum. The gathering of\nministers and energy industry players from Indo-Pacific nations serves\nas a common discussion space for all participants, particularly\nregarding how countries in the region can strengthen cooperation to\nsupport energy security, which has become increasingly critical amid\nMiddle Eastern conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndonesia has demonstrated this commitment by sending 150 liquefied\nnatural gas cargoes in 2025 to support global energy supply.\nAdditionally, Indonesia also supplies approximately half of the world\u2019s\ntraded coal,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bahlil, Indonesia\u2019s large-scale energy exports\ncontribute significantly to strengthening global energy supply. He also\nnoted that when mutually beneficial collaboration is not achieved, each\nnation must prioritise the interests of its domestic population.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an oil-importing nation, if we cannot secure our oil needs, we\nhave no choice but to utilise the energy resources available\ndomestically, including increasing the proportion of crude palm oil\nconverted into biodiesel,\u201d said Bahlil.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia is the world\u2019s largest producer and exporter of crude palm\noil (CPO), exporting approximately 30 million tonnes annually. Bahlil\nfurther explained that amid current energy scarcity, each nation\nprioritises its own needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the Paris Agreement urges a transition away from coal, in\nreality, many countries are currently increasing their coal imports from\nIndonesia,\u201d Bahlil remarked.<\/p>",
