Amazing find, Mureli! <3

This is, indeed, a "cuckoo wasp." However, I'm not sure that the species above (Chrysis angolensis) is a match for what you have here. C. angolensis tends to be blue/green (without these beautiful rainbowy colors).

The closest, visually, that I'm seeing is Chrysis grohmanni, but I think it is a European species. I think the genus you have here is probably right. I'm going to remove the ID to the top right until we can get a better idea of what this might be! Check out some of the species in Asia:

Mureli, I saw your species ID request, but we need a genus and species in order to add the ID. Chrysidini is the tribe. Posted 4 years ago
