Is Indonesia’s Prabowo solidifying legitimacy with visits to foreign leaders?

==========

Indonesia's President-elect Prabowo Subianto has visited China, Japan, and Malaysia, which may indicate that influential countries recognize him as the next Indonesian president and lend him more legitimacy. The visits also signal that Prabowo still has a good relationship with President Joko Widodo and may smooth his path to office. Prabowo's visit to China aims to promote cordial relations and continue cooperation on trade and economics. His visit to Japan showcases Indonesia's non-aligned foreign policy, and his visit to Malaysia aims to strengthen political support from Indonesia's Muslim community. Indonesia will strengthen cooperation with China, Japan, and the US in different ways. Prabowo's visits solidify his domestic legitimacy as president-elect and have future implications.
