| description | Relations between Indonesia and South Korea reached 50 years in 2023. During this time, several diplomatic episodes occurred between the two countries. In 1977, Indonesia faced a rice shortage due to pests and drought. To overcome this crisis, Indonesia made various efforts, including borrowing rice from South Korea. This study analyzes the rice borrowing event as an early diplomatic exchange between South Korea and Indonesia. The study adopts the historical method and uses the diplomatic archives of both countries as data sources. The loan of rice was found to be the starting point for Indonesia to start building friendly relations with South Korea. This is evidenced by the increase in economic cooperation and diplomatic benefits in both countries. After three decades of maintaining friendly relations, these two countries have become strategic partners. |
