The Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) is a subregional cooperation initiative established in 1993 by the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, aiming to accelerate economic transformation in less-developed provinces. IMT-GT meetings serve as a key building block for cooperation within ASEAN. Jambi Province, one of the 10 Indonesian provinces included in the IMT-GT program, is expected to benefit from the implementation of this initiative. The IMT-GT Blueprint for 2022-2026, which serves as the framework for subregional cooperation over the next five years, was finalized in 2022. Indonesia has outlined five main strategies for this blueprint: (1) economic corridor approach and regional integration, (2) promoting private sector participation, (3) supporting inclusive growth, (4) adopting green, blue, and circular economic developments, and (5) institutional adjustments across sectors. Jambi Province has developed a designated area known as Sentusa (Sengeti, Tungkal, Sabak) to support the implementation of these strategies. This study focuses on the strategies employed by the provincial government of Jambi to implement the IMT-GT framework. This research uses an exploratory descriptive method, gathering data from primary informants and secondary literature sources.

Journal Article — Journal of Maritime and Policy Science
Nation branding has become a key element in modern communication strategies, particularly in the context of globalization. Countries strive to establish a positive international image, reflecting their unique identity and values. Nation branding is a marketing and communication strategy aimed at enhancing a country’s image, both domestically and globally. Kepulauan Riau participation in the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT) cooperation, and its hosting of the IMT-GT event in 2023, represents an effort to strengthen its image internationally. The IMT-GT is a subregional economic collaboration involving Indonesia (Sumatra), Malaysia, and Thailand, with the Kepulauan Riau being an active participant. This research utilizes a descriptive-analytical approach, supported by secondary data, to examine the impact of this initiative. One of the notable implementations of this cooperation is the IMT-GT Expo "Gebyar Melayu Pesisir," which showcases Kepulauan Riau local culture and products. This event aims to foster economic growth among the three countries, particularly in the Kepulauan Riau as the host region. The outcomes of the IMT-GT initiatives include agreements that enhance connectivity among member countries, fostering an integrated, innovative, inclusive, green, and sustainable growth strategy, with a vision extending to 2036. This research highlights the potential for the Kepulauan Riau to leverage nation branding through subregional cooperation, enhancing economic growth and international recognition.
