Indonesia has confirmed that it does not recognize personal Western sanctions imposed against Russian individuals, Russian Ambassador to Indonesia Sergey Tolchenov told TASS in an interview.
When asked whether there is a risk of Russian citizens being arrested in Indonesia at the request of third countries, the ambassador replied: "We do not currently foresee such risks.
There have been no such precedents in Indonesia, and I believe that Indonesia, as a country pursuing an independent and sovereign policy, will not permit such actions."
"There have been instances in Indonesia where our citizens were placed on international wanted lists via Interpol, but that is a separate, criminal matter.
We have clarified with our Indonesian partners whether anything similar could occur in the country, and we were assured that Indonesia does not support personal sanctions imposed against Russian individuals who occasionally visit the country," the diplomat emphasized.
