February 02, 2021 EP #39 The Dynamic of Indonesia-China Relations Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
In this episode, I talked to Deputy Chief of Mission of Indonesian Embassy in Beijing, China, Dino Kusnadi on the developments of Indonesia-China relationship. I asked him whether he agree that the COVID-19 plague has made our relationship even become stronger or not and the progress of vaccine cooperation between two countries.
Seeing the high infection rate of COVID -19 in Indonesia until now., it seems our government is in the struggle situation to cope with this unprecedented global health crisis. What can we learn from China in handling this pandemic? What makes them able to fight against COVID-19?
The heightened rivalry between the US and China has profoundly affected how Indonesia should engage with China. I asked him to describe our foreign policy towards China under the administration of President Jokowi. Does he agree if I say Beijing has gained more attention to Jakarta than Washington? Is this more favourable direction towards China coming directly from President Jokowi, how is the policy direction made internally?
Lastly, I asked to him the significant hurdles in Jakarta and Beijing's relationship, especially in the Post COVID-19 world. Check this out!

January 19, 2021 EP #37 The Developments and Challenges of Indonesia's Defence Diplomacy and Security
Within one year after being titled as the defence minister of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto has been actively improving its military and security cooperation with many countries. He has reportedly visited Turkey, France, China, Russia and recently the United States. The visits have resulted in a couple of collaboration, deals and agreements. Is it mainly for exploring the underdeveloped security relationship or showing Indonesia’s independence and neutral security policy by diversifying its partners?
Moreover, do we see an improvement in our defence diplomacy from the governance and leadership under President Yudhoyono compare to President Widodo? What has been changed and what has been continued? During this pandemic, the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue relationship known as Quad consists of Australia, Japan, U.S. and India have become more intense, intensifying its cooperation to counter against China. How should Indonesia respond or anticipate Quad development?
How does the inflaming tension between the U.S. and China impact Indonesia’s defence and security? The recent finding of surveillance drone has made the public fear of an intrusion to Indonesia’s sovereign waters. Are we able to secure our underwater territory from such threats? What should be improved from our defence system in securing our territorial sovereignty?
I explored those questions with Lieutenant Colonel Frega Inkiriwang, an active member of Indonesia’s armed forces, PhD Candidate at the London School of Economics and Political Science and the Assistant Professor at the Indonesian Defence University. He recently finished his dissertation on the development of Indonesia’s defence diplomacy at the post-new order era.
