Indonesia Calls for Stronger Domestic Resilience at 18th BRICS

Indonesia has called for strengthening domestic economic resilience to address growing global economic uncertainties at the 18th BRICS Summit. The summit aims to promote economic cooperation and development among emerging and developing countries. The Indonesian government has expressed its commitment to focusing on stabilizing supply chains and developing the digital economy. This strategic approach is intended to reduce the economy's vulnerability to external shocks and ensure sustainable growth. The development of domestic industries and the creation of new business models utilizing digital technology are central to this strategy. BRICS, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has seen an increase in membership in recent years, enhancing its economic influence. Indonesia seeks to strengthen its economic position and deepen cooperation with the international community through the BRICS framework. The nation particularly values BRICS' role in joint efforts to address global economic challenges and in facilitating information exchange. As a key member of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), Indonesia also contributes to regional economic stability. Its statements at BRICS are seen as part of Indonesia's broader diplomatic strategy to enhance intra-ASEAN cooperation and deepen its engagement with the wider international economic order.
