Indonesia’s president has put himself in the ranks of world leaders. He has been able to make unprecedented progress within his own country. The New York Times published an article praising him.
Although Joko Widodo does not care much about world politics, he recently visited Russia and met Putin. He requested Putin not to restrict the export of fertilizers and food. Putin agreed.
In addition, Indonesia has taken initiatives to ensure that Ukraine can regularly export all food and products, including wheat. Widodo has agreed to be a mediator between the two countries.
Joko is at the end of his second term in power. He created new opportunities for the country’s middle class. Strengthened the tourism sector. Increased efficiency of civil servants.
Diplomatically, Indonesia currently has a stronger position. Many will be surprised that the President of Indonesia has never attended a session of the United Nations. When asked the reason for this, he said, I work based on reality and specific results.
However, Indonesia’s foreign minister regularly attends UN sessions and meets with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. Joko didn’t want to be a big player on the world stage. He wanted to focus more on the internal situation of the country.
The people of Indonesia want their head of state to work on the economy. May he focus on the protection of Indonesian citizens at home and abroad. Joko Widodo has successfully managed to do both.
After conducting a survey of 3 thousand people in Indonesia, the results show that his popularity is increasing day by day. He may leave office as the most popular president when he leaves office.
Joko Widodo is a statesman who always prioritizes the needs of the people. He always obeys public opinion. That is why he has been close with China and has not criticized Russia in the Ukraine war.
