  • Indonesia has joined the vast majority of the world's countries in condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
  • The ongoing war is having a negative effect on the global economy and disrupting supply chains worldwide.
  • Agriculture, IT, and energy are just a few of the areas with potential for partnership between Indonesia and Ukraine.

Indonesian President Joko Widodo has a diplomatic boast few world leaders can match. Last year he met both Russian and Ukrainian presidents to explore possible paths to peace. If that sounds like a tough call, it's entirely in line with his ambition to put his country at the "pinnacle of global leadership."
