  "account": "Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto delivered a speech at the 11th Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) in Vladistovok, Russia, where he quoted the Russian proverb, \"Odin v pole ne voin.\" The proverb, which translates to \"There can be no victory if we fight alone,\" reflects the importance of mutual cooperation. Prabowo drew a parallel between this Russian saying and Indonesia's own proverb, \"gotong royong,\" which means that any heavy burden becomes lighter when carried together.\n\nDespite the linguistic differences between the two nations, Prabowo emphasized that both Indonesia and Russia share ancient wisdom from their respective ancestors. He stressed that this shared wisdom must be applied in the cooperative relationship between the two countries, particularly in areas such as trade, transportation, payment systems, and industrial projects. These collaborative efforts, Prabowo argued, should yield tangible benefits for the people of both nations.\n\nDuring his address, Prabowo also invited Russia to engage in equal and sovereign partnership. He urged both countries to measure their actions by the tangible benefits they deliver for their respective citizens. By working together, Indonesia and Russia can strengthen their bond and achieve mutual prosperity.",
