Indonesia recalibrates relations with the Middle East
Abstract
Indonesia’s relations with the Middle East and North Africa have taken a notable turn in the past few years. Previously Jakarta concentrated on economic and cultural matters in its dealings with the region; it now concerns itself with security and military affairs, and has adopted a more activist posture. The shift is evident with respect to the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Arab Gulf states and Iran, and Turkiye.
