If Plabovo does not visit Japan after visiting China, international people will believe that Indonesia will no longer follow the non -alliance's foreign policy.Therefore, although Japan did not invite him to visit, his team still arranged a visit to Japan.He not only met Kishida Wenxiong, but also contacted the Japanese Defense Ministers.
The Indonesian Election Commission officially announced on March 20 that the Plabovo -Giblan group won the Presidential Election in 2024 and was elected as the President of Indonesia and Vice President.Anis -Mu Haimin combined and Ganchaer -Maford combined selection.Many national leaders congratulate Plabowo as soon as possible, including Malaysian Prime Minister Anhua, Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Bayidon, and Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Wenxiong.However, the two combinations of the defeated election refused to accept the election results, but accused Phuket's cheating, used national machines to seduce voters, and assisted by the society to help voters, win the presidential election with unfair ways, and asked the Constitutional Court to investigate the election thoroughly this election., And announced that the results of the presidential election on February 14 were invalidated, requesting re -election, and prohibiting Phuket for running.
The dispute over the presidential election was still discussed in the Constitutional Court. Before the results were released, Plaboopo was invited to visit China on March 30, and then continued to visit Japan and Malaysia.What is the significance of this foreign visit to the Three Kingdoms?
On March 29, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs released the news that Xi Jinping invited President Plaboor to visit China for three days.Indonesian officials pointed out that Plabowo went to China as the Minister of Defense, because he was still a member of the cabinet of Zoko, and the current President of Indonesia was still Zoko. He would only step down on October 20.The real reason may be because the Indonesian Constitutional Court, who is still dealing with the defeated presidential candidate to accuse the presidential election of cheating, Plabovo's "elected president" is challenged.
However, if Plabowo was invited to visit China as the Minister of Defense, the inviter should be the Minister of Defense of China.Chinese official reports said that Plabowavo was elected to the President of Indonesia. Obviously, Plaboor was invited because he had been elected and was the president.However, when Xi Jinping talked to Plaboor, he asked him to pay tribute to Zoko on behalf of him.
China first invited Indonesia to be elected president to visit China. It may be to be friendly with Plabowo, to continue to maintain friendly relations with Indonesia, and deepen economic, national defense and security cooperation in order to slightlyWinning.
Borrow a visit to let the elected president's identity legal
Plabovo accepts invitations, and of course there are their own plans.The defeated presidential candidate today does not admit defeat, and also goes to the Constitutional Court.Plaboor obviously wants to use this to give the Indonesian people a message. Even if someone does not recognize the election results, but the great power and countries that have influential Indonesia have acknowledged that he was elected president and legalized his election as president.China is the big country of rise, advanced technology, and the largest trading partner of Indonesia.Japan is the closest ally in Asia in the United States and has a huge influence on Indonesia's economy.Malaysia is the "brother country" of Indonesia, with the same text in the same text, depending on each other in diplomacy and economy.Both India -Malaysia actively supports Palestine and also opposes the EU anti -forest cutting method that is not conducive to the Indian horse palm oil export industry.
In addition, Plabovo also wants to send a message to the Indonesian people and foreigners: he and Zoko are still good friends, and continue to follow Zoko's policy to develop Indonesian economy and infrastructure to break through himHe has parted ways with Zako.
Plabovo also wants to tell Chinese leaders that he will continue to cooperate closely with China in terms of trade and economy, like Zoko, and repeatedly emphasize that when he takes over as president in OctoberPolicies, develop friendly relations between Jakarta and Beijing.While talking to Xi Jinping, Plabovo emphasized that his policy will be based on Zoko's policy.He said: "I have decided to use the achievements of Zoko policy as the basis for my future work project. I fully support intimate, high -quality India -China relations."
Plabowo also met with the Chinese Minister of Defense Dong Jun to discuss matters about military cooperation and national defense industry cooperation, but there was no detailed report.
Plaboor's first visit after the election, it happened when China ’s influence in Asia's fineness increased and the influence of the United States declined, especially after the Harbin conflict and Gasha were blown up.Singapore's East Isa East South Asian Research Institute's perennial survey on Aya An showed subtle changes.There is a question: If Ya'an is forced to choose a strategic partner between China and the United States, which country would you choose?Indonesian interviewees selected China in 73.27%, only 26.8%of the United States.This result is significantly different from last year's survey results: 53.7%of Indonesian respondents chose China last year, and 46.3%of the United States was selected.
In this case, if Plabovo did not visit Japan after visiting China, international people would believe that Indonesia would no longer follow foreign policies.Therefore, although Japan did not invite Plabovo to visit, his team still arranged a visit to Japan.Plaboopo not only met Kishida Wenxiong, but also contacted the Japanese defense ministers.In terms of military cooperation, Japan will provide large -scale patrol boats in Indonesia and various military equipment.
Plabovo also visited Malaysia before returning to Indonesia. The purpose may be to win the support of Indonesian Muslims, especially in the presidential election.Indiama's opinions in the Baza conflict are similar, and both countries have proposed a proposal with Haha immediately ceasefire.
From Plabovo's visit to China, it shows that he intends to strengthen economic and military cooperation between Indonesia and China and Japan.Japan is an American allies, and Indonesia will also strengthen cooperation with the United States in economic and military.
The latest investigation report released by the Indonesian National Research Innovation (Brin) reports the influence of China and the United States on Indonesia.The report said that China has great economic influence; US influence is in military and national defense.This is because Indonesia generally purchase military fire and military equipment in the United States and Western countries.
It is reported that Indonesia has signed a contract to purchase the F-15EX fighter made in the United States, which is the most advanced F-15 fighter aircraft in Boeing.Fighters and other military equipment need $ 13.9 billion.In addition, Indonesia and the United States have large -scale "Kobe Shield" joint military exercises every year, which is not available to China.
However, after Plaboor's formal office, Plaboor may adjust the Indonesian military's traditional pro -American strategy.Because he met Xi Jinping and said that he would strengthen cooperation with Chinese military equipment and military fire industry.He mentioned in the Presidential campaign of the Indonesian Strategy and International Research Center that Indonesia is facing the global uncertainty caused by the increasingly tension of geopolitics.He believes that Indonesia must follow the national interest -based free and independent foreign policy.
In short, the motivation of Plaboor's visit to China and Malaysia is mainly based on domestic factors. Through foreign recognition, he legalized his "elected president" and temporarily resolved his contradiction with Zako.Secondly, he also took the opportunity to announce the future foreign policy to the world.
