Elevating Indonesia’s engagement in the south Pacific Region through the implementation of Nonreciprocal Preferential Trade Scheme (NRPTS)

---

This paper proposes the implementation of a Nonreciprocal Preferential Trade Scheme (NRPTS) to elevate Indonesia's engagement in the South Pacific region, where Indonesia and Pacific countries face common challenges such as rising sea levels and the pursuit of welfare through economic development. Although Indonesia's engagement and partnership have steadily grown at bilateral, regional, and global levels, the West Papua issue has hindered a cohesive Pacific engagement approach. So far, Indonesia relies heavily on economic grants and technical cooperation to boost its presence in the Pacific, with total aid of approximately US$16 million from 2014–2020 across Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Kiribati, and Samoa. Referring to Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi's statement at the 2019 Pacific Exposition inauguration on Indonesia's intention to pursue preferential trade with South Pacific countries, this policy paper argues that an NRPTS will elevate engagement and complement Indonesia's "hands above" soft diplomacy toward Pacific Islands countries, strengthening an inclusive, comprehensive, mutually respectful, and beneficial partnership.
