Maritime Sovereignty and Maritime Diplomacy of Indonesia as Instruments Toward Becoming a Global Maritime Fulcrum

Abstract

Maritime sovereignty, maritime diplomacy, and the Global Maritime Fulcrum are interrelated concepts that form the core components of Indonesia’s efforts to become a strong and sovereign maritime nation. Maritime sovereignty refers to a state's legitimate, sovereign, and effective right to control and manage its maritime territory. Maritime diplomacy serves as a foreign policy instrument employed to reinforce maritime sovereignty through negotiation, cooperation, and diplomacy with other countries. The Global Maritime Fulcrum is Indonesia’s strategic vision to become a sovereign, advanced, independent, and strong maritime center that contributes positively to regional and global peace and security—supported by robust maritime sovereignty and diplomacy.
