2017～2018年印尼的外交政策主要有三大理念，即重视国家利益的“务实外交”、维护海洋权益的“海洋外交”以及积极参与地区和国际事务。其中，“务实外交”是佐科政府外交政策的最大特点，主要包括经济外交、大国平衡和领事保护。虽然外界对佐科政府执政时期的外交表现基本满意，但佐科政府在外交方面仍面临一定的困难与挑战。展望2019年，印尼的外交政策不会有大的变动，将继续坚持以“务实外交”为主、以“海洋外交”为辅的外交政策，并积极在促进东盟一体化上谋求更大的发言权和影响力。伴随2019年印尼大选年，佐科政府的外交政策将配合大选的情况与造势进行一定的微调，但总体不会脱离既定框架。
In 2017，Indonesia’s foreign policy mainly consists of three major concepts：“Pragmatic Diplomacy” that emphasizes national interests，“Maritime Diplomacy” that upholds maritime rights and interests，and active participation in regional and international affairs. Among them，“Pragmatic Diplomacy” is the most prominent feature of the Joko administration’s foreign policy. Its main contents include economic diplomacy，the balance of major powers and consular protection. Although the public is generally satisfied with the diplomatic performance of the Joko administration for the past three years，there are still some diplomatic difficulties and challenges that are faced by the Joko administration. Looking at the 2018 prospect，the Joko administration’s foreign policy will not have major changes. It will continue to adhere to the foreign policy that gives priority to “Pragmatic Diplomacy”，which is supplemented by “Marine Diplomacy”，and will also actively pursue a greater say and influence on the issues of the South China Sea and ASEAN. Taking into account the upcoming 2019 Indonesian presidential election，the Joko administration’s foreign policy will fine-tune the situation in line with the election and the campaign momentum. However，the overall framework of the policy will not be out of the scope from the past three years.
