📄 Artikel Ketua DPP Partai Golkar Bidang Kebijakan Politik Luar Negeri dan Hubungan Internasional, Ali Mochtar Ngabalin, berjudul «Prabowo-Putin dan Arah Baru Diplomasi Indonesia–Rusia», yang dimuat di harian Rakyat Merdeka (21 Agustus 2026)

Poin-poin utama:

Pertemuan Presiden Prabowo Subianto dengan Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin di Istana Konstantinovsky, St. Petersburg, Rusia, 19 Juni 2025, bukan sekadar pertemuan dua kepala negara. Pertemuan Prabowo dan Putin patut dibaca bukan hanya dari apa yang dibicarakan, tetapi juga dari arah strategis yang sedang dibangun Indonesia.

• Hubungan Indonesia dan Rusia bukanlah hubungan yang baru dibangun. Tahun ini, kedua negara memperingati 76 tahun hubungan diplomatik. Selama lebih dari tujuh dekade, hubungan Indonesia-Rusia telah melewati berbagai perubahan zaman, pergantian pemerintahan, dinamika geopolitik, hingga perubahan keseimbangan kekuatan dunia.

• Salah satu isu penting yang mengemuka adalah apresiasi Rusia terhadap dukungan bagi keanggotaan Indonesia di BRICS. Bagi Indonesia, BRICS bukan semata-mata forum ekonomi. Keanggotaan tersebut dapat menjadi ruang bagi Indonesia untuk memperluas pilihan kerja sama sekaligus memperkuat posisi dalam tata ekonomi dunia yang semakin multipolar.

• Selain energi, ruang kerja sama Indonesia-Rusia juga semakin luas. Pertahanan, teknologi, transportasi, pendidikan, digitalisasi, media massa, hingga kebudayaan masuk dalam agenda hubungan bilateral.

• Ada kerja sama pendidikan tinggi antara Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi, Sains, dan Teknologi Indonesia dengan Kementerian Sains dan Pendidikan Tinggi Rusia. Ada pula kerja sama sektor transportasi antarkedua negara, kerja sama pengembangan digital dan media massa, serta kolaborasi antara Danantara dan perusahaan saham gabungan Management Company of Russian Direct Investment Fund.

🗓 On August 20, 2026, a solemn opening ceremony of the exhibition «Weapons of Independence» was held at the Satria Mandala Museum. The exhibition was organized by the Russian House in Jakarta with the support of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of the Russian Federation.

🎙 Welcoming remarks were delivered by First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Iliyas Umakhanov, Ambassador of Russia to Indonesia Sergei Tolchenov, Head of the Russian House in Jakarta Nikita Shilikov, Representative of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation in Indonesia Vladimir Medvedkov, and Defence Attaché of the Russian Embassy Maxim Lukyanov. Representative of the Indonesian Armed Forces History Centre Eko Budiyanto read out a message from its Head, Stefie Jantje Nuhujanan.

💬 In his remarks, Ambassador Tolchenov noted: The exhibits presented today remind us that the friendship between our countries was built not only on political solidarity, but also on practical assistance at a crucial moment in Indonesia’s history. This cooperation made a tangible contribution to strengthening the country’s sovereignty, defence capabilities and territorial integrity.

Despite Indonesia’s proclamation of independence on 17 August 1945, the former Dutch colonial authorities refused to accept the new reality and continued their imperialist aggression against the young Republic. From the very establishment of the new state, the Soviet Union began providing support to Indonesia, including in the international arena. The USSR was among the first countries to stand up for Indonesia’s rights and openly condemn the actions of Western powers.

📚 On the sidelines of the event, a collection of educational materials was handed over for participants of Russian-language courses at the Indonesian Army Centre for General Military Education in West Java.

🎵 The programme also featured a performance by the Indonesian vocal group INNER’G Acapella, which won third place at the international Moscow A Cappella competition in 2024.
