MP: Prabowo's Visit to Russia Plays Role in Promoting Peace
Jakarta (ANTARA) - Member of House Commission I Oleh Soleh believes that President Prabowo Subianto’s visit to Russia, scheduled to meet President Vladimir Putin, plays an important role in promoting peace regarding global conflicts in the Middle East.
Soleh, in his statement in Jakarta on Monday, said that the visit has strategic significance amid increasingly complex global geopolitical dynamics, especially related to conflicts in the Middle East and energy security issues.
“The visit to Russia is very important in discussing the global geopolitical situation. This demonstrates President Prabowo’s seriousness in realising world security and peace,” he said.
He stated that the concrete diplomatic steps taken by President Prabowo in the meeting with President Putin could push for a permanent ceasefire, particularly in the war between Iran and the United States.
“Indonesia together with Russia must voice world peace. We can propose a permanent ceasefire between Iran and America, and push for the cessation of various armed conflicts,” said Soleh.
He said that this is seen as opening up space for broader diplomacy, including Indonesia’s involvement as a consistently non-aligned country promoting peace.
In addition to geopolitical issues, bilateral cooperation in the energy sector is also an important focus. Soleh hopes that President Prabowo’s visit can strengthen energy cooperation between Indonesia and Russia.
“During this visit, President Prabowo can also strengthen energy cooperation so that oil supplies remain safe and stable. This is important to prevent price fluctuations that impact the national economy,” he said.
He believes that strategic cooperation in the energy sector will be one of the important foundations in maintaining Indonesia’s energy resilience amid global uncertainties.
With this visit, the House hopes that Indonesia can play an increasingly active role in global diplomacy while strengthening national interests in the energy sector and regional stability.
