🇷🇺 Interview of Ambassador of Russia to Indonesia Sergei Tolchenov to Liputan6 (February 10, 2025)
Key points:
• Indonesia can amplify the voice of BRICS on the global stage because it is an important player with a large economy and vast prospects. Indonesia is pursuing a free and independent policy, and this is exactly what BRICS stands for. BRICS is simply a group of like-minded countries that would like to promote independent policy.
• The main goal of BRICS is to create a more democratic, fair, and multipolar world order, <…> where each country can freely express its position and where illegal sanctions against sovereign nations will not be imposed.
• It is NATO that has, for decades, been moving closer and closer to the borders of the Russian Federation. This violates the promises <...> not to deploy NATO troops in Eastern Europe.
• We aim to increase the number of Indonesian students studying in Russia. We have already taken practical steps to achieve this goal and will continue to expand these efforts gradually. There are already significant Indonesian communities in various Russian cities, such as Tomsk, where there is more than 100 Indonesian students.

🇷🇺 Wawancara Duta Besar Rusia untuk Indonesia Sergei Tolchenov kepada Bisnis Indonesia (14 Februari 2025)
Poin-poin utama:
• BRICS bukan organisasi anti-Barat, melainkan non-Barat. BRICS tidak menentang AS atau yang lainnya. Kami ingin suara kami didengar di seluruh dunia. Oleh karena itu, saya yakin penting juga bagi BRICS untuk memiliki Indonesia, negara dengan jumlah penduduk besar, ekonomi besar, potensi besar, kaya sumber daya alam, dan kebijakan luar negeri yang aktif dan independen.
• Saya yakin, secara ekonomi, Indonesia mempunyai masa depan yang cerah. Rusia ingin turut berpartisipasi dalam proses ini karena saya yakin negara saya juga mempunyai beberapa teknologi, dan pengalaman di bidang yang sangat menjanjikan. Rusia dapat menjadi mitra dan mendukung pembangunan di Indonesia karena kami mempunyai hal-hal yang bisa berguna untuk pembangunan berkelanjutan Indonesia.
• Kami mempunyai pengalaman yang baik dan sangat positif dalam energi nuklir. Saya sudah mendengar dari para pemain Rusia yang cukup besar, perusahaanperusahaan besar Rusia, bahwa mereka siap menyediakan makanan, perusahaan, pembangkit listrik, atau hal lainnya ke sini. Jadi, kami siap berproduksi di sini juga.
• Langkah besar berikutnya adalah kesepakatan kemitraan strategis yang komprehensif. Saya sangat yakin kami siap untuk langkah ini. Hal ini juga akan mencerminkan keadaan hubungan bilateral Indonesia-Rusia saat ini karena kita memiliki hubungan yang sangat baik di bidang politik, teknis militer, dan lainnya.
• Pada 2023—2024, kami membuka dua Pusat Pendidikan Terbuka Bahasa Rusia. Tempat itu dibuka dengan menggunakan hibah oleh universitas-universitas Rusia, satu dari Krasnoyarsk di Siberia dan satu lagi dari Yekaterinburg.
