Geopolitics and foreign policy were also discussed

In addition to domestic issues, geopolitical issues were also mentioned as topics of discussion during the meeting. According to Hasto, Megawati touched on Indonesia's pioneering role in the Asia Africa Conference, Non-Aligned Movement, and Indonesia's role in building a more balanced world order through an independent and active foreign policy.

This discussion on geopolitics feels important because it is happening amidst a heated international situation, especially after the war US-Israel versus Iran shook the Middle East region and influenced many of Indonesia's foreign policy calculations. In a number of previous forums, Prabowo has also gathered national figures to discuss geopolitical developments and their implications for Indonesia. Therefore, the meeting with Megawati can be seen as part of the President's efforts to absorb strategic views from senior figures who have long experience in state administration and diplomacy.

Still from Hasto's explanation, Megawati also had time to tell about her last visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. This detail shows that the conversation between the two not only touched on domestic issues and the history of Indonesian diplomacy, but also actual experiences that can be used as reading material on changes in the region's political landscape.
