Prabowo: Economic Cooperation Remains Main Pillar of Indonesia-Singapore Relations

President Prabowo Subianto stated that economic cooperation remains the main pillar in Indonesia-Singapore relations, with increased collaboration spanning trade, connectivity, energy, the digital economy, digital ecosystems, cybersecurity, and food security. “Our economic cooperation remains the main pillar in our relationship. In all fields, we see increased cooperation,” Prabowo said in a joint statement with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the Merdeka Palace in Jakarta on Monday. The President said Indonesia has appointed BPI Danantara to implement cross-border electricity trading cooperation and further trading activities. The two countries also agreed to strengthen collaboration in food and supply chains. Prabowo added that in the field of defence and security, Indonesia and Singapore continue to implement the defence cooperation agreement that has been reached. “A strong partnership is built on trust, not only between governments but also between the peoples of both countries. Therefore, connectivity, tourism, education, and cooperation between youth are very important,” Prabowo said.
