Indonesia's Prabowo Hunts Energy Deals Amid Middle East Tensions

President-elect Prabowo Subianto is aggressively pursuing new energy partnerships for Indonesia. His strategy aims to reduce risk by finding suppliers beyond the volatile Middle East. Recent diplomatic meetings have targeted a wide range of resources. Prabowo seeks not just oil and gas, but also critical minerals and advanced technology. The goal is to secure everything Indonesia needs for its industries and its shift to cleaner energy. This move comes as conflicts, including tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, threaten global supply chains. By widening its network of partners, Indonesia hopes to protect its growing economy from sudden price shocks or shortages. The new energy playbook focuses on long-term security. It positions Indonesia to build a more resilient and self-sufficient future.
