SABARUDDIN, Sulthon Sjahril e CENTRO DE INVESTIGACION Y DOCENCIA ECONOMICAS. División de Estudios Internacionales. 62 YEARS OF INDONESIA-MEXICO DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS: SOME REFLECTIONS AND WAYS FORWARD. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2017, vol.12, n.2, pp.287-323.

The paper attempts to discuss the Indonesia-Mexico diplomatic relations over the last 62 years (1953-2015). The paper shows that during the Soekarno administration, Indonesia and Mexico enjoyed the peak momentum of their bilateral political relations. The bilateral relations deteriorated during the Soeharto regime, despite some reinvigoration to strengthen economic relations was visible in the later period. In the post-Soeharto regime, the bilateral relations have strengthened, particularly in the economic sphere. The paper points out that there is plenty space that both countries could seize to strengthen the bilateral relations. But to achieve this goal, both countries need to have strong political willingness, work hard, and address the inherent matters and issues in innovative and creative manners. In the economic sphere, both states need to find resourceful ways on how to evolve from being a competing partner to become an emerging collaborative partner. To support the Indonesian economic diplomacy programs, Indonesia should also need to strengthen the socio-cultural and political cooperation. The paper holds that achieving a socalled 'comprehensive partnership' as agreed by both Head of State in the Joint Statement 2013 seems to be a visible goal to be achieved in the near future.
