Indonesia Presumed President-Elect Prabowo Subianto’s Foreign Policy

thediplomat.com Where Does Indonesia’s Prabowo Subianto Stand on Foreign Policy?

The defense minister would likely follow the broad approach of President Joko Widodo, but with a heavier emphasis on defense.

Definitely link a better article if you have one. It seems like this outlet is not too rabidly liberal. Overall, it looks like Indonesia will continue down a non-aligned path, which is surprising considering this new president is related to Suharto

  • Don't know about his foreign policy, but domestically he's likely to be a disaster.

    “Indonesia is not ready for democracy,” he told me in those [2001] meetings. The country, he said, needs “a benign authoritarian regime.”

    Prabowo expressed support for army rule. He praised a recent coup in Pakistan and mused about making a similar move in Indonesia. “Do I have the guts?” he asked rhetorically. “Am I ready to be called a fascist dictator?”
