Indonesia defense cooperation expansion
Overview
Indonesia has engaged in high-level military discussions with multiple nations to expand its defense cooperation and security ties.
In mid-September, Indonesian Navy Chief Admiral Dr Muhammad Ali met with Pakistan’s top military leadership in Rawalpindi. The discussions focused on strengthening bilateral ties through increased professional training, enhanced defense collaboration, and more frequent joint military exercises to improve coordination and regional stability.
By early October, Indonesia shifted focus toward maritime cooperation with the Netherlands. The Indonesian Navy Marine Corps and the Dutch military discussed skill-sharing initiatives, specifically involving Dutch instructors traveling to Indonesia to study “specialized jungle survival and jungle warfare tactics.” To institutionalize this relationship, officials proposed a ‘Marines-to-Marines Talk’ forum to expand upon existing naval dialogues and facilitate leadership ties through goodwill visits.
