Instead, it should make us more aware that we\nmust act, speak, and conduct ourselves with wisdom and kindness,\u201d\nPrabowo said.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo said Indonesia\u2019s size and abundant natural resources had made\nthe archipelago a target of competing interests for centuries.<\/p>\n<p>Since the 16th century, the Indonesian archipelago has attracted\nnations from around the world because of its highly valuable\ncommodities, particularly spices and high-quality timber, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Spices were especially valuable at the time because refrigeration\ntechnology did not yet exist, making them essential for preserving food\nduring long voyages, Prabowo said.<\/p>\n<p>Indonesia\u2019s natural wealth is both a blessing and a challenge, he\nsaid, noting that countries and regions rich in natural resources often\nbecome targets of competing interests.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople, countries, or regions blessed with abundant natural\nresources often become targets. Why is there conflict in the Middle\nEast? The region has abundant gas, oil, and other valuable minerals.\nWars have raged there for hundreds of years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Prabowo said Indonesia must maintain national unity, strengthen\nvigilance, and pursue wise policies to safeguard its national interests\namid global uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia to use trade to build peace amid global\nfragmentation<\/p>\n<p>Related news: Indonesia will remain a good neighbor amid rising\nglobal tensions<\/p>\n<p>Translator: Galuh\/Fathur, Kuntum Khaira<\/p>",
