Significantly improving Indonesia’s relations with both countries is a possible outcome of the peace accord. Since it has the world’s largest Muslim population, Indonesia can facilitate better communication and mutual understanding between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The country’s unique viewpoint may help in finding a solution to the current dilemma since it is neither Arab nor Persian but rather a mix of Sunni and Shia people.

Improved stability and cooperation in the region would be welcomed by Indonesia and other Southeast Asian states. Indonesia may feel compelled to form new regional alliances in response to this situation so that it may strengthen connections with both Iran and Saudi Arabia.

In conclusion, the significance of the Chinese-mediated peace agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia cannot be overstated. No one can predict what will happen next with the deal, but it’s a step in the right direction for peace and stability in the Middle East. There is little question that Indonesia will play a pivotal role in this development.
