Indonesia's Prabowo Skips UNGA, Signals Shift in Foreign Policy

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto skipped the UNGA, citing domestic priorities, amid growing frustration with the US over its Gaza initiative and Iran conflict. He also froze Indonesia's Board of Peace engagement and suspended troop deployment to Gaza.

Why it matters. Indonesia's shift in foreign policy could impact its relations with the US and its Middle Eastern allies, affecting regional stability and economic ties.
