Jakarta–Peking Axis

Sukarno
Mao Zedong
Kim Il-sung

The Jakarta–Peking axis, also known as the Djakarta–Peking–Pyongyang–Hanoi–Ulaanbaatar–Phnom Penh Axis was a form of geopolitical alignment during the Cold War era, representing a strategic convergence between Indonesia, North Korea, North Vietnam, Mongolia, and China. This political alignment was inaugurated in January 1965 as part of President Sukarno's foreign policy during Indonesia's Guided Democracy era. Although Indonesia maintained a nominally free and active foreign policy, Sukarno's administration exhibited strong anti-Western sentiments and gravitated towards communist countries.
