Indonesian president to discuss Russian oil imports with Putin

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is expected to travel to Russia in the coming days, where he is likely to meet President Vladimir Putin, as Jakarta looks to secure alternative energy supplies amid a global shortage, foreign media reports.

Indonesia’s foreign minister said on April 11 that discussions during the visit will include the possibility of purchasing Russian oil as an alternative source, as disruptions linked to the conflict involving Iran continue to tighten global supply conditions.
