  In recent events, the UAE has emerged as a major mediator in the negotiation of a large prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, thanks to sophisticated negotiations brokered by the UAE, 248 Russian prisoners of war have been safely returned to Russia from Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the return of over 200 Ukrainian captives from Russia.

Recently, the two countries announced that they would be swapping 206 prisoners of war as part of a critical exchange that is easing the tension between the two nations.

It also suggests an interesting new role for neutral third parties in resolving international disputes. UAE involvement indeed highlights their strategic approach to foreign policy while fo...

  President Jokowi is behind the idea to inaugurate the Cirata solar farm, which is a daring step for Indonesia into the solar energy spotlight. The project, a joint venture between Masdar in the United Arab Emirates and PLN in Indonesia, highlights the country's ability to undertake utility-scale solar projects.  At a cost of more than IDR 1.7 trillion, Cirata is an important proof of concept for Indonesia's solar goals. Masdar's participation—it owns 49% of the company—demonstrates a strategic partnership with a financially secure partner. The project's partnership concept, which depends on PLN as an equity partner, defies conventional market logic even if it is in line with international efforts to address climate change.    Masdar's accomplishments in Indonesia go beyond Cirata; the company has investments in Solar Radiance and a geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina. Masdar 's comprehension of Indonesia's distinct market dynamics is crucial, as it highligh...
