Verteidigung: Indonesien und China wollen militärisch enger zusammenarbeiten
Indonesien und China rücken enger zusammen: Die Staaten wollen ihre Kooperation in Verteidigung, Energie und Ernährung ausbauen – und sich „gegen einseitige Einschüchterung stellen“.
Indonesia and China aim to strengthen their military cooperation, alongside energy and food security collaborations, according to high-ranking officials from both nations. On Friday, leaders met in Jakarta to discuss closer cooperation in areas such as security, economy, and maritime collaboration. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated, "We will jointly confront unilateral intimidation and power politics" in a joint statement with his Indonesian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sugiono.
Future cooperation will also encompass artificial intelligence, joint development of communication satellites, and other advanced technologies. Additionally, both countries agreed to facilitate trade and expand market access for key Indonesian export goods. Defense ministers from both nations also held talks, focusing on enhanced collaboration between military forces and arms industries.
Indonesian Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin invited Chinese military forces to participate in joint exercises. China has become Indonesia's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching about $167 billion last year. China has also invested billions in major infrastructure projects in Indonesia, including a high-speed railway between Jakarta and Bandung and the largest floating solar power plant in Southeast Asia in West Java.
