Indonesia’s Prabowo is happy to play mediator to both Koreas. But does North want him to?

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto expressed openness to visiting North Korea, potentially positioning Indonesia as a mediator between North and South Korea. However, there is uncertainty about whether North Korea would accept such a visit, given its isolation and hostility toward South Korea. Prabowo emphasized Indonesia's non-interventionist stance in foreign affairs, despite pressure from South Korean President Lee Jae Myung to facilitate dialogue. Public sentiment in Indonesia may be against further international travel by Prabowo, according to analysts. South Korea has suggested that countries like Indonesia, which maintain relations with both Koreas, could contribute to peace efforts on the Korean Peninsula.
