Indonesia Spearheads Regional Cooperation Efforts as ASEAN's Key Player

Published on 5.24.25

  Indonesia is emerging as a key player in regional cooperation and sustainable development, leveraging its unique position to promote inclusive and equitable growth. As the world's third-largest democracy and a major economic power in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has the potential to bridge diverse interests and foster smart diplomacy. The country's government has launched initiatives such as strengthening food and water security, accelerating renewable energy, and building climate-resistant infrastructure. Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono emphasized the importance of fair technology distribution and design tailored to local needs. As a G20 member and natural bridge between Asia, Indonesia is well-positioned to support sustainable development agendas. Yudhoyono encouraged ASEAN's transformation from a consensus forum to a problem-solving platform, also inviting increased regional involvement in sustainable infrastructure projects. This strategic positioning enables Indonesia to promote regional cooperation and contribute to a more inclusive global order. Indonesia's economic growth exceeding the global average and a rapidly expanding middle class are driving change in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia at its forefront.
