In a significant display of unity and shared vision, the leaders of Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa have reaffirmed their commitment to bolstering a multilateral system that prioritizes peaceful conflict resolution through dialogue. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa held separate bilateral meetings in Jakarta this week, emphasizing the importance of collaboration within frameworks such as BRICS, the Global South, and the G20. Lula, currently chairing BRICS for 2025, visited Indonesia from Wednesday to Friday, while Ramaphosa arrived on Wednesday for a two-day visit. The discussions underscored the relevance of South-South cooperation, rooted in mutual respect and dialogue, as well as the need to strengthen multilateral platforms. Prabowo highlighted Indonesia and Brazil’s shared stance as emerging economic powers, while Lula met with ASEAN Secretary General Kao Kim Hourn to explore cooperation in sustainable development, trade, and investment. Ramaphosa, in a joint press statement with Prabowo, stressed the importance of enhancing the multilateral system to address global challenges. Observers noted that these visits would significantly strengthen BRICS, which has emerged as a vital platform offering an alternative to Western-dominated international structures. Experts emphasized that BRICS complements existing multilateral organizations, providing new opportunities for member nations like Indonesia to leverage their participation across various groups.
