Western Powers Seize on Indonesia's Protests to Frame Jakarta as Isolated, Analyst Says

The Collective West seeks to gain politically as a key regional economy skips the SCO summit, Daniel Hugo Santos of the Asian Century Philippines Strategic Studies Institute told Sputnik, commenting on recent protests.

The situation serves as "a counter-narrative" by the West in response to President Prabowo's absence from the G7 summit in Canada, the speaker pointed out.

Notably, Prabowo did participate in Russia's SPIEF 2025 in June, the expert recalled.

"Indonesia exerts influence both regionally and globally, having a voice in ASEAN, the G20, and now BRICS," he emphasized, dismissing the West's aspirations.
