Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto met with Vladimir Putin, underscoring improved bilateral ties in economics, technical cooperation, trade, investment, and agriculture. Skipping the G7 summit, Prabowo claimed Indonesia would not adhere to Western philosophies, voicing support for Russia and China as defenders of the oppressed. Alongside him, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim praised Putin's leadership and Russia's soft power influence. Both leaders have shifted from condemning Russia's actions during the Ukraine invasion to adopting a more pro-Moscow stance, reinforcing their commitment to non-alignment amid geopolitical tensions.
My meeting with President Putin today was intense, warm and productive. In all fields of economics, technical cooperation, trade, investment, and agriculture, they all have experienced significant improvements.
Indonesia would not follow the philosophies of the biggest and most powerful power in the world and described Russia and China as defenders of the downtrodden and the oppressed.
During his trip to Vladivostok in September last year, Anwar praised Putin for his vision and leadership and for his determination to survive, presumably referring to Western sanctions.
Anwar championed Moscow for its remarkable soft power that has earned it global respect and admiration, influencing the hearts and minds of people around the world.
