Putin and Indonesia’s Prabowo Deepen Defense, Energy and Trade Ties in Kremlin Talks

The meeting reflects Moscow’s push to expand ties with a non‑aligned Southeast Asian partner.

Overview

  • Putin hailed “highly reliable” military‑technical cooperation, noting Indonesian specialists train at Russian institutions and recalling prior joint naval drills.
  • Russia offered to provide specialists for Indonesia’s first planned nuclear power plant, which Jakarta targets at about 500 MW by 2032.
  • Putin said Russian wheat deliveries to Indonesia have decreased slightly this year after shipments resumed in October following a pause since January.
  • Russian agencies reported 52,000 tonnes of wheat supplied in October and cited 2024 exports of roughly 1.3 million tonnes versus far smaller 2025 volumes before the resumption.
  • Prabowo invited Putin for a state visit in 2026 or 2027 and reaffirmed Indonesia’s non‑aligned stance, as the two leaders met in Russia for the second time this year.
