Prabowo Subianto is set to become Indonesia's next president, with expectations to continue Jokowi's economic policies, focusing on infrastructure, foreign investment, and populist policies aiding the poor. His election has prompted international reactions, including a congratulatory message from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (@narendramodi), highlighting the anticipation of strengthening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and Indonesia. Prabowo's foreign policy is anticipated to be pragmatic without radical changes, especially concerning Jakarta's South China Sea policy. Experts suggest that Australia and other nations may need to adapt their diplomatic approaches with Indonesia under Prabowo's (@prabowo) leadership.

ICYMI: What will Prabowo’s foreign policy be like? His past record indicates that the ex-general is much more a strong-willed, if volatile, pragmatist than an ideologue, writes @globalsarang https://t.co/ETCwFBiTQC

Prabowo will likely continue Jokowi’s economic policies, building up Indonesian infrastructure, trying to streamline the environment for foreign investment, and focusing on some populist policies designed to help the very poor, writes @JoshKurlantzick. https://t.co/OujwTjZOeR
Where is Jakarta’s South China Sea policy heading under Prabowo? https://t.co/d4KDUvfg2r Indonesia’s new president may advocate a pragmatic approach but don’t expect radical changes, experts say.
Like Trump, Indonesia’s next president Prabowo Subianto will require careful diplomatic handling. Australia will need to select a “Prabowo whisperer” to keep the relationship on an even keel. Strongman’s road to democracy https://t.co/wmiJJ7iYGO
