U.S.-Indonesia Relations and Critical Minerals: Navigating Economic Resilience in a Shifting Global Landscape

According to Indonesia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Pahala Mansury, critical minerals are emerging as “the new oil” in global geopolitics. To mitigate supply chain risks, he contends that developed nations such as the United States should invest in countries that possess substantial reserves of these minerals.

Mansury underscores the necessity for advanced countries to adjust to the changing geo-economic landscape as the world transitions to renewable energy. This has the potential to fortify economic relations with Indonesia, the world’s largest nickel producer, which is a critical metal for electric vehicle batteries.

Indonesia is pursuing a comprehensive critical minerals agreement to stimulate its economy amid the escalating antagonism between the United States and China. While China is the largest trading partner of Indonesia and dominates the nickel processing sector, Indonesia considers the United States to be crucial in its economic transition.

The United States has engaged in discussions with the Philippines to counter Beijing’s dominance in Southeast Asian nickel processing and has implemented regulations to prevent EV manufacturers from sourcing battery minerals from China.

Since last year, Indonesia has been advocating for a critical minerals agreement with the United States in order to capitalize on the climate law incentives of the Biden administration. Nonetheless, the law is confronted with opposition during an election year, and a potential Trump victory could potentially undermine it.

Mansury is of the opinion that the US-China rivalry will endure irrespective of the outcome of the US election. Indonesia has been preparing for a variety of scenarios and is diversifying its partnerships in order to become a preferred ally for multiple parties.

Indonesia is anticipated to maintain its non-aligned stance in the US-China competition, pursing its own interests. This policy is anticipated to be maintained under President-elect Prabowo Subianto.

Indonesia is pursuing investment agreements with countries in North Asia and the Middle East to avoid being ensnared in the middle, with a focus on infrastructure projects, solar energy, and EV batteries. A $1.1 billion battery cell facility in Indonesia has been established by Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution of South Korea.

Mansury believes that developing nations have the opportunity to establish a resilient supply chain without adopting a stance, emphasizing that global supply chain disruptions are detrimental to all parties involved.
