St. Petersburg, June 17 Indonesia, as chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), is waiting for Russia at the summit in Jakarta in the fall, said in an interview as part of SPIEF-2023 Chairman of the Russia-ASEAN Business Council Ivan Polyakov.
According to Polyakov, Indonesia «without a doubt» is waiting for Russia at the ASEAN summit in Jakarta.
«The Indonesian side has always emphasized and emphasizes that its position is extremely balanced in relation to political processes. Indonesia also shows a high degree of interest in the development of economic relations with Russia. Most recently, an impressive delegation from Indonesia came to Russia for the Eurasian Economic Forum, which proves Indonesia's openness to dialogue with Russia. In practical terms, we in the Russia-ASEAN Business Council do not see the slightest change in sentiment on the part of Indonesian — and in general ASEAN — friends and partners in relation to our country, which would make us worry, «- said the source of the agency.
He recalled that last year Indonesia hosted the G20 summit on the island of Bali, where a high-level Russian delegation also arrived.
«I want to say that the Indonesian government has carefully prepared for this important event. I have no doubt that this year's ASEAN summit, which will be held in Jakarta, will also be prepared very carefully and will be held at the highest level» — concluded Polyakov.
