        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - On 3 September 2026, President Prabowo Subianto\nmet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the 11th\nEastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladivostok. Putin expressed his\nappreciation for President Prabowo\u2019s presence as the keynote guest of\nthe EEF, which was attended by delegates from approximately 80\ncountries. This annual forum aims to attract investment and strengthen\neconomic ties among Asia-Pacific nations.<\/p>\n<p>The city of Vladivostok, the venue for the Eastern Economic Forum, is\nnot only beautiful but also a historic city marking the early end of the\nSoviet Union, the superpower of the Cold War era. It was from this very\ncity that the world experienced profound changes.<\/p>\n<p>Vladivostok is Russia\u2019s largest port city. Situated at the edge of\nGolden Horn Bay, facing the Pacific Ocean, it lies near the borders of\nChina and North Korea. Before becoming Russian territory, Vladivostok\nwas controlled by the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234), then the Mongol Empire,\nand later returned to Chinese control. However, China\u2019s defeat in the\nOpium Wars resulted in Vladivostok being controlled by the Soviet Union\n(now Russia).<\/p>\n<p>I have long desired to visit this historic city. That wish was\nfulfilled in September 2012 during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation\n(APEC) Summit, which was attended by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.\nThe summit took place on Russky Island, approximately one kilometre from\nthe centre of Vladivostok.<\/p>\n<p>Gorbachev, with his ideas of glasnost (political openness) and\nperestroika (economic restructuring), opened up to Asia-Pacific nations,\nwithdrew military regiments from Afghanistan, halted the arms race,\nnormalised relations with the US, and accelerated nuclear weapons\nnegotiations. Gorbachev also opened the city of Vladivostok\u2014formerly a\nSoviet military base\u2014to visitors, including American journalists.\nPreviously, the city had been closed.<\/p>\n<p>Gorbachev\u2019s speeches became the milestone marking the end of the Cold\nWar between the Eastern Bloc, led by the Soviet Union, and the Western\nBloc, led by the United States. The dissolution of the Soviet Union also\nserved as a counterweight to the power of the United States. It was\nGorbachev\u2019s political policies that encouraged several nations\npreviously under Soviet control within the Eastern Bloc (the Warsaw\nPact) to break away from the alliance.<\/p>",
