        "summary": "Indonesia's Foreign Ministry has stated that the United Arab Emirates' decision to leave OPEC and OPEC+ effective 1 May will not affect the strong bilateral relations and strategic cooperation between Indonesia and the UAE. The government hopes this development supports global energy market stability and supply security, while closely monitoring its implications for the national economy and energy resilience. Experts view the UAE's move as a significant signal of diplomatic rifts in the Gulf region, particularly with Saudi Arabia, driven by geopolitical tensions in Yemen and disagreements over oil production quotas.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) has\nassured that the United Arab Emirates\u2019 (UAE) decision to withdraw from\nthe Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and OPEC+\neffective 1 May will not impact the bilateral relations that have long\nbeen established with Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can state that the UAE\u2019s policy does not affect the bilateral\nrelations that have been established nor the strategic cooperation that\nhas been built between Indonesia and the UAE,\u201d said Kemenlu Spokesperson\nYvonne Mewengkang at the Ministry\u2019s office in Jakarta on Thursday\n(30\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian government, she said, hopes that this development will\ncontinue to support the stability of the market and the security of\nglobal energy supplies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the Indonesian government will of course continue to monitor the\nsituation comprehensively as well as its implications for the national\neconomy and energy resilience,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>This step is seen as a strong signal of cracks in diplomatic\nrelations among Gulf countries, particularly between the UAE and Saudi\nArabia.<\/p>\n<p>Gulf expert from the University of Bristol, Toby Matthiesen, assessed\nthat the UAE\u2019s exit is a crucial moment for regional political\nstability.<\/p>\n<p>Although OPEC member countries often have differing opinions, they\nhave usually managed to maintain cooperation for decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a very significant step. It indicates a split in the Gulf,\u201d\nsaid Matthiesen as reported by the Washington Post on Tuesday\n(29\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>One of the main triggers of this rift is differing interests in the\nYemen conflict.<\/p>\n<p>Tensions between the two countries peaked this year after a\nseparatist group supported by the UAE clashed and seized large areas\nfrom the Yemeni government.<\/p>\n<p>The Yemeni government is supported by Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to geopolitical issues, the UAE has frequently clashed\nwith Saudi Arabia regarding oil production quotas.<\/p>\n<p>As the third largest producer in OPEC, the UAE feels it has a\ndifferent strategic vision in managing its energy resources.<\/p>",
