President Prabowo urges Indonesian youth to remember how the US helped Indonesia

Thekabarnews.com—President Prabowo Subianto gave a significant speech to Indonesian youth at the Roundtable Business Summit in Washington, D.C., on February 18. The president emphasizes the importance of historical awareness in shaping future diplomacy.

Prabowo told important businesspeople from the US and Indonesia how important the US was to Indonesia when it first became free. He said that the US’s diplomatic support for Indonesia during the revolution made the young country more important in world politics.

The president said that the help was more than just support for the party. In addition, he talked about how the PL480 food aid program helped people in need in the 1960s. This program assisted Indonesia in recovering from a period of political and economic instability that led to food shortages.

“I always tell Indonesia’s young people not to forget how the US helped Indonesia become politically and economically independent,” President Prabowo said.

The president’s speech made it clear that remembering how we worked together in the past is not just a memory. He said that this was a beneficial place for the two countries to begin to strengthen their ties in the future.

President Prabowo said that Indonesia wants to work with the US more on economic issues, bring in more investment, and build stronger strategic partnerships with the US in a way that benefits both countries. 

Indonesia wants to build on its long-standing relationship with the US while also adapting to the changing world by acknowledging the shared history of the two countries.

People who are watching say that Prabowo’s message fits with Jakarta’s overall diplomatic strategy, which tries to find a balance between keeping old alliances and making new economic ties. 

The US and Indonesia still need to work on their relationship, especially when it comes to trade, technology, building infrastructure, and helping businesses grow.

This speech also shows that Indonesia wants to be a trustworthy partner in a world that is getting more complicated.
