Indonesia sits at the center of the Indo/Pacific region, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Thanks to its location the country has become a relevant power in the region. This is mainly for three main reasons: First, Indonesia centrality in the global sea trade lanes; Second, Indonesia centrality in the US-China rivalry; and Third, Indonesia's military potential.
The country still faces lots of challenges, but if overcome, they will turn it into a major regional power.
