Indonesia’s accession to BRICS in 2025 and its policy of diversifying trading partners have supported the country in reaching a higher level of economic self-sufficiency, Foreign Minister Sugiono stated in his annual address.
"A stable economic foundation strengthens Indonesia’s position on the world stage and supports our sustainable, proactive role. To sustain this role, Indonesia must be capable of securing its own future. This is where economic self-sufficiency becomes critical... We are diversifying our partnerships with a clear understanding of the need to reduce risks amid instability and slowing growth of our traditional partners—a process that accelerated when we joined BRICS," Sugiono emphasised during his address.
The Foreign Minister added that "in a transactional world," BRICS creates a space for cooperation among the Global South countries and enhances collective resilience.
