Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto recently met in Saudi Arabia. They agreed to work closely on business projects worth about $27 billion. These agreements are not just government plans they involve private companies in both countries working together. The talks happened during the first meeting of their new Supreme Coordination Council.
Leaders Meet to Push for Gaza Peace and Cooperation
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto recently met in Jeddah. Their meeting focused on two main goals: promoting peace in Gaza and signing business partnerships. Both leaders made a joint statement calling for an end to the fighting. They emphasized the need for a ceasefire, safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and efforts to stop civilians including women and children from suffering.
This meeting built on their historic cooperation. Indonesia has long campaigned for Palestinian rights and has offered aid, diplomatic support, and even peacekeeping readiness. President Prabowo said Indonesia supports a two-state solution where Palestine and Israel live side by side in peace.
Why This Cooperation Influence for Gaza and Beyond
This Saudi–Indonesia cooperation carries strong weight because both countries stand out in the Muslim world. Saudi is often seen as a leader among Arab nations, while Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim-majority country and member of G70. Their unified call for peace and humanitarian help signals to other nations especially Western powers and the UN that urgent action is needed in Gaza.
By linking peace efforts with economic deals, both nations show global diplomacy can focus on both peace and prosperity. Their actions give a powerful message: the world should not only help rebuild Gaza but also invest in broader stability and fairness across the region.
$27 Billion in Deals Boost Cooperation While Backing Gaza Support
While pressing for peace, both countries signed around $27 billion in deals covering clean energy, petrochemicals, fuel, mining, and digital services. One highlight is a clean-energy partnership between Saudi’s ACWA Power and Indonesia’s state-linked Pertamina. These projects will deliver jobs, power plants, and pipelines strengthening both economies.
The business talks also included cooperation in food security, water resources, logistics, and education. These agreements aim to support major development plans Saudi Vision 2030 and Indonesia’s Golden Vision 2045. The combined focus on peace and economics shows a unified approach: building prosperity while working for a peaceful future in Gaza.
Shared Call for Ceasefire, Humanitarian and Two-State Solution
In their joint declaration, leaders from both countries urged the global community to act immediately. They condemned the use of starvation and blockades as weapons and any efforts to displace Palestinians. They stressed the importance of obeying international laws and human rights principles, calling on the United Nations and G20 nations to step in.
They also spoke out against extending current violence into Syria, Sudan, or Yemen. Saudi pledged more financial support to Gaza, including added funds for UN agencies and medical aid. Indonesia said it would increase funding to UN relief groups and send medical teams. President Prabowo confirmed Indonesia is ready to contribute doctors, medical ships, and even peacekeepers if a UN mission is approved.
