He said this in a panel discussion titled “The Dynamics and Development of the Latest World: Geopolitics, Security and World Economics” in the Grand Sahid Jaya Hotel, Jakarta, today. Next are market diversification and world partners. Ahy said that Indonesia should expand its economic horizon in a world that began to polarize. Ahy pushed the opening of markets to Europe, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and other world countries. “Don’t just depend on one Magas. Indonesia must be an intelligent and independent world player,” he exclaimed. And finally, Ahy asked for the regional solidarity to be strengthened. “Asean must unite to defend the principle of fair and open trade. Solidarity is our power, cooperation is our hope,” said the coordinating minister of infrastructure and abrasive. Ahy assesses that this latest development has the potential to bring the world of extreme two directions. First, the affected countries will stay away from the United States and build a new economic block. Second, if Trump’s policy is proven to be effective in forcing other countries, the world will be more subject to an increasingly hegemonic power. “Whatever the outcome, one thing is certain, we have the risk of economic, political and economic fragmentation,” he said. Not only that, Ahy also appreciated the double track diplomacy approach of President Prabowo Subianto, namely a special team to negotiate with Trump and on the other hand to build communication with other countries. According to Ahy, President Prabowo was a diplomacy that was not reactive and not passive. “The world is no longer divided into strong and weak, but between the fasting and those who are left,” he said. This activity was attended by a number of figures such as 7th President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, former coordinating minister of the economy Hatta Rajaela and chairman Tanjung. Several red and white cabinet ministers were also seen in the room, such as the Minister of Creative Economy, Teuku Riefky Harssya, Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo, Minister of Transmigration, IFTITAH SURYANEGARA, and Deputy Minister ATR OSSY DERMAWAN.
