President Prabowo: BRICS Plays a Role in Strengthening Global South Voice

President Prabowo Subianto has expressed his view that BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) plays a crucial role in strengthening the voice of the Global South and shaping the future of the world. This statement is noteworthy as it indicates the direction of Indonesia's foreign policy in an increasingly multipolar global landscape. BRICS is a framework that aims to counter the traditional Western-led international order and expand the voice of emerging and developing countries, actively promoting the strengthening of cooperation among the Global South. President Prabowo's statement suggests Indonesia's intention to enhance its influence on the international stage through multilateral cooperation frameworks like BRICS. Indonesia, while maintaining its central role within ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), seeks to maximize its national interests by actively engaging in diverse international forums, including BRICS. In particular, as a member of the Global South, it is likely strengthening its stance on coordinating efforts to solve the challenges faced by developing countries and rectify the international economic order. This statement offers a glimpse into how President Prabowo will develop Indonesia's foreign policy after taking office and will serve as an important indicator for Indonesia's future movements in international relations.
