Indonesia Assesses US-Venezuela Escalation

The geopolitical shifts between the US and Venezuela demand strategic vigilance from Indonesia. Ahmad Khoirul Umam, an expert at Paramadina University’s International Relations, emphasized the importance of reinforcing energy sovereignty, economic resilience, and Indonesia’s active-free foreign policy. These measures are crucial to prevent the nation from being drawn into conflicts among major powers.
