Jakarta – Deputy Chairwoman of the Gerindra Party, Rahayu Saraswati, said that Prabowo’s visit this time is expected to attract significant investment for Indonesia. She said that large investments from abroad can open up wide job opportunities and accelerate the pace of domestic economic growth.
“So there needs to be massive investment in Indonesia, because this opportunity will have a big domino effect on the economy,” said Rahayu.
Meanwhile, the Daily Chair of the Gerindra Party, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, assessed that Prabowo’s visit would open up more opportunities for cooperation in the industrial and trade sectors.
“We hope that this visit can open up opportunities for Indonesia, both in terms of investment and the development of the wider industrial and trade sectors,” said Dasco.
Prabowo’s visit this time is also seen as an effort to maintain Indonesia’s neutral position amidst global geopolitical dynamics. According to Dasco, Prabowo, who is an alumnus of the University of Virginia, is trying to establish good relations with various major countries without getting caught up in global power competition.
“Prabowo wants Indonesia to remain neutral in all international policies, but is ready to cooperate with big countries,” he added.
Dasco also said that during this visit, Prabowo will convey Indonesia’s views on several global issues, including the conflict in the Middle East and support for Palestine.
“Prabowo emphasized that Indonesia always supports just peace, including supporting Palestinian independence,” he said.
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto expressed his support for Prabowo’s agenda. According to him, Indonesia is now in a strategic position in the global economy, so this visit can take advantage of that momentum.
“Indonesia is currently in an important position in the international world, and with the economic diplomacy steps taken by Prabowo, we can strengthen this position,” explained Airlangga.
With this visit, it is hoped that Indonesia can strengthen its strategic position at the global level, both in the economic and diplomatic fields, while continuing to maintain domestic economic stability. Prabowo’s economic diplomacy approach, if implemented properly, is expected to strengthen Indonesia’s economic resilience and open up more jobs.
