President Prabowo Subianto has declared that Indonesia will not join\nany military alliance. The Head of State said Indonesia maintains good\nrelations with other nations and adopts a defensive military\nposture.<\/p>\n
Prabowo made these remarks in an exclusive interview with\ninternational media Bloomberg. Indonesia is described as consistently\nimplementing the free and active foreign policy principle enshrined in\nthe 1945 Constitution, which commits the nation to remaining non-aligned\nand actively promoting world peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe cannot be part of any military alliance,\u201d Prabowo said at his\nprivate residence in Hambalang, West Java, according to a written\nstatement from the Government Communications Agency.<\/p>\n
Indonesia, Prabowo claimed, stands on its own feet and does not\ndepend on the strength of other nations. Therefore, Indonesia must build\nadequate defence capabilities. \u201cWhen something happens, we cannot depend\non anyone,\u201d Prabowo stated.<\/p>\n
Global geopolitical conditions have intensified following sudden\nattacks by the United States and Israel on Iran in late February 2026.\nThe combined military assault on Iranian airspace caused infrastructure\ndamage and civilian casualties.<\/p>\n
The US-Israeli strikes killed several leaders of the Islamic Republic\nof Iran, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran\nsubsequently retaliated by deploying missiles and drones against Israel\nand all US military facilities in the Middle East region.<\/p>\n
Amid the US-Israeli conflict with Iran, President Prabowo has offered\nhimself as a peacemaker. According to Prabowo, all parties must be\nwilling to engage in dialogue to end the war.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/prabowo-indonesia-cannot-join-any-military-alliance-1773672783", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
