Indonesia, as a democratic country, always seeks to maintain good relations with other countries for the sake of their mutual interests. Politics is a tool that Indonesia uses to achieve its goals in terms of economy, social, cultural and international relations. However, there are some things that are not the goals of Indonesia’s foreign policy. In this article, we will discuss what Indonesia does not aim for in its foreign policy.
Not the Goal: Spreading Negative Vibes
Indonesia’s foreign policy does not aim to spread negative vibes about other countries. This means that Indonesia does not promote or support the dissemination of negative information or propaganda that can damage the relationship between Indonesia and other countries. Indonesia strongly believes in the importance of promoting peace, friendship, and cooperation between nations. Therefore, Indonesia always tries to build and maintain good relationships with other countries, without spreading negative vibes.
Indonesia has a long history of building good relationships with other countries, and it is one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement. This movement is based on the principle of promoting peaceful coexistence among nations. Indonesia has also been active in various international organizations, such as the United Nations, ASEAN, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Through these organizations, Indonesia promotes peace, cooperation, and mutual respect among nations.
Forget About It: Sowing Discord Abroad
Indonesia’s foreign policy also does not aim to sow discord abroad. This means that Indonesia does not engage in activities that can cause conflicts or disputes between other countries. Instead, Indonesia seeks to act as a mediator and facilitator in resolving conflicts between nations. Indonesia believes that peaceful resolution of conflicts is the only way to achieve lasting peace and stability in the region.
Indonesia’s role as a mediator is evident in its involvement in the resolution of various conflicts. For example, Indonesia played a significant role in the peace process in Aceh, which ended the long-standing conflict between the Indonesian government and the Free Aceh Movement. Indonesia has also been a mediator in the peace talks between the Philippine government and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).
In conclusion, Indonesia’s foreign policy is based on the principles of promoting peace, friendship, and cooperation between nations. Indonesia does not aim to spread negative vibes or sow discord abroad. Instead, Indonesia seeks to act as a mediator and facilitator in resolving conflicts between nations. By doing so, Indonesia hopes to contribute to the promotion of peace and stability in the region and the world.
