Indonesia's Humanitarian Diplomacy in Providing Aid for Cyclone Mocha Disaster in Myanmar and its Impact on Security and Stability in Asean

Abstract

Cyclone Mocha in Myanmar has caused disruption to government activities in Myanmar. This disruption is one of the security threats that needs to be responded appropriately so that it does not have an impact on regional security stability. Indonesia as the bearer of the ASEAN chairmanship needs to take a diplomatic stance in providing humanitarian assistance so as not to trigger conflict. Therefore, Indonesia's humanitarian diplomacy efforts at this moment need to be analyzed in order to become a lesson for the future. The method used in this study is a literature study that analyzes data inductively based on relevant information from sources available on the internet. The study found that Indonesia's humanitarian diplomacy still pays attention to regional security interests. Indonesia sent aid through the AHA Center as an ASEAN disaster agency and directly on behalf of the Indonesian people. Sending aid on behalf of the Indonesian people shows Indonesia's neutrality towards Myanmar's military junta government. This method is accepted by the local government because it is considered to have no special tendencies that take advantage of Myanmar's national emergency conditions. Indonesia's humanitarian diplomacy in ASEAN, especially Myanmar, reflects the Indonesian state's efforts to promote and protect human rights, peace, stability and prosperity in the ASEAN region. This shows Indonesia's commitment to maintaining security stability in the region through mobilizing humanitarian solidarity
