"Dream - Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo is determined to revitalize ASEAN so that the organization of Southeast Asian countries can make decisions more quickly. This determination was expressed by Ganjar, who also touched on the topic of the "temporary agreement" regarding the South China Sea (LCS) issue. Ganjar explained that Indonesia has contributed to the resolution of the LCS conflict. The "temporary agreement" is needed because the regulations in the LCS are still not settled."

"Mr. Ganjar's answer not only lacks a single word that addresses ASEAN, whereas the key to resolving this issue is ASEAN," said Anies. "Indonesia is the largest country in ASEAN, and as the founding member of ASEAN, Indonesia is once again becoming a dominant leader in ASEAN, not just a mere attendee in ASEAN," Anies stated."
