JAKARTA – Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto is scheduled to travel to Moscow within the next few days for talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, according to the country’s foreign minister on Saturday.
Foreign Minister Sugiono indicated that discussions during the trip will focus on Indonesia’s potential acquisition of Russian oil supplies as the nation seeks alternative energy sources during ongoing global shortages linked to conflicts involving Iran.
When previously questioned about the possibility of such a diplomatic meeting, Russian officials confirmed that preparations for contact between the two presidents were underway.
