ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2021, №1(50), 82-113

 
Annotation: Indonesia, as the largest country in Southeast Asia, with vast natural resources and marine waters, the world's largest Muslim state, occupying the most important geostrategic position in the region, cannot but claim to be one of the key places on the Chinese “Аsian chessboard”. In connection with the rapid growth of the economic and political influence of the PRC, which is challenging America on the world stage, Indonesia undoubtedly seeks to take advantage of the current situation and take part in the implementation of Beijing's ambitious plans. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is implementing the concept of the country's economic development by strengthening all-round ties with China within the framework of the conjugation of the Indonesian national concept of the “global marine axis” with the Chinese megaproject “one belt – one road”.

Keywords: Indonesia, Joko Widodo, China, international relations, Indonesia – the sea axis of the world, the sea silk road, one belt – one road
