Early results suggest Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto, ex-son-in- law of Indonesia's former authoritarian president Suharto and an alleged human rights violator, has won Indonesia's presidency. If these unofficial results hold, he would be sworn in, in October, for a five-year term. Background With over 279 million citizens, Indonesia is the most populous country in Southeast Asia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, the world's third-largest democracy, and a leader in regional organizations. It is the world's 16th-largest economy and a major producer of natural gas, oil, and critical minerals. It straddles vital sea lanes and borders the Strait of Malacca as well as the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The U.S.-Indonesia relationship has broadened over the past two decades, as Indonesia has become a robust democracy and improved its record on human rights and accountability, and as the United States has focused on the Indo-Pacific as vital to U.S. security and prosperity and looked to partners like Indonesia to help promote a free and open region. U.S.-Indonesia relations include close military and counterterrorism cooperation, as well as economic, educational, environmental, and energy programs. The two governments elevated the Comprehensive Partnership they announced in 2010 to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2023, and conduct around 170 security engagements annually, including on maritime security and combatting terrorism. This represents a sharp change from the early 2000s, when U.S. policies enacted in response to Indonesian armed forces' involvement in human rights violations severely limited bilateral engagements.
