  "account": "Jakarta, Indonesia: President Prabowo Subianto replaced his foreign minister on Thursday with a career diplomat, his second senior cabinet change in under three weeks. Arrmanatha Nasir, Indonesia's former permanent representative to the United Nations in New York, was appointed as the new foreign minister, while outgoing Sugiono was made coordinating minister for human development. Nasir's appointment is expected to signify a shift at the ministry. He emphasized his focus on regional stability and multilateralism during his inauguration. Analysts believe that Sugiono's role in the foreign ministry had diminished, with Prabowo exerting a stronger influence, which is characterized by a policy of free and active non-alignment. Nasir, a seasoned diplomat, is anticipated to adopt a more assertive stance, potentially scrutinizing diplomatic deals more critically. His predecessor, Sugiono, a member of Prabowo's Gerindra party, had overseen several initiatives, including Indonesia's admission into BRICS and Gaza's Board of Peace initiative.",
