My latest op-ed is in The Jakarta Post today. I discuss Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent visit to the U.S. and its implications for Indonesia and global diplomacy. It highlights the historical tensions in Sino-US relations and the shift in international focus from the "Asia-Pacific" economic framework to the "Indo-Pacific" strategic view. The piece emphasizes Indonesia's strategic interest in maintaining regional stability and economic development amidst these global power dynamics. My article also considers the domestic implications for Indonesia, especially in light of its upcoming elections and strategic autonomy in foreign policy.

Beijing scrambles to bolster relationship with Vietnam as Hanoi elevates ties with the US "Party-to-party ties are a special conduit for bilateral relations," said Carl Thayer, emeritus professor at the University of New South Wales in Australia and a Southeast Asia specialist. "[They] trump the state's foreign policy bureaucracy in times of tension or on particularly important issues in dispute."… According to Thayer, Vietnam's improving ties with the US, Hanoi's largest export market, has been driven largely by economic interests as well as renewed tensions in the South China Sea, where both China and Vietnam claim a large part of the contested waterways. "Vietnam has recast its long-standing policy of 'cooperation and struggle' to remove ideological restraints in favour of practical outcomes in foreign relations that serve the national interest," he said. He added that Vietnam also improved ties with South Korea last year and planned to do likewise with Australia and Indonesia soon. Thayer also said China's party diplomacy did not play a significant role in relations with Southeast Asian states that are not socialist. "This line is blurred when Xi travels abroad because he is both general decretary of the Chinese Communist Party and president of the People's Republic of China. Party diplomacy is intermittent and lacks a permanent presence in contrast to the overseas network of foreign ministry diplomats," he said. #Vietnam #Chinese_Commjnist_Party #Xi_Jinping #Ang_Cheng_Guan #Greg_Poling #Carl_Thayer #University_of_New_South_Wales #Liu_Jianchao #Bui_Thanh_Son #Cambodia #Laos #South_China_Sea #Nguyen_Phu_Trong #Zhang_Mingliang #Gregory_Poling

#UNGA78 | Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis on behalf of the High Representative of the EU, met with Malaysian Minister of Foreign Affairs Zambry Abdul Kadir. 🔹 Lithuanian FM stressed the importance of Ukraine’s Victory in keeping a sense of security and order even in distant countries from Europe. 💬 "Stability and well-being are very fragile. Strengthening ties between the EU, Malaysia, and other partners in the Indo-Pacific helps bilateral relations, global affairs, and the rules-based world order" – noted the Lithuanian Diplomacy leader. 🔹 At the meeting, G.Landsbergis shared Lithuania's experience in reducing economic dependence on authoritarian regimes. 💬 "Lithuania realised back in 1998 how high the cost of economic and energy dependence on Russia could be. When Russia launched its war against Ukraine, Lithuania's experience inspired many European countries to reduce their economic dependence on Russia and China. Our experience and the difficult path we have taken can be useful for other regions, as well", said G. Landsbergis. 🤝🏻 Economic ties between Malaysia and Lithuania are strengthening, with trade turnover increasing by 34% in 2022 compared to 2021. The Lithuanian FM has invited the FM of Malaysia to visit Lithuania and to resume negotiations on EU-Malaysia economic cooperation. 🌏 On the margins of the UNGA, EU Foreign Ministers will meet representatives of 133 countries to seek partners' support on priority issues.
