"This [partnership] signifies the strength and potential of our security relationship, bolsters regional deterrence, and advances our shared commitment to peace through strength, Hegseth said, according to a Defense Department statement."
"We are here as Indonesian delegates with very great enthusiasm to continue to develop our defence relationship, [which] should be enduring for our next generation in Indonesia and the United States of America, Sjafrie was quoted as saying."
"We're working on behalf of mutual respect and mutual benefit to enhance [the] value of our national interests, he added."
The US and Indonesia have signed a significant defense cooperation partnership aimed at strengthening military ties and maintaining stability in the Asia Pacific region. US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth emphasized the partnership's potential to bolster regional deterrence and enhance peace. Both nations' armed forces engage in over 170 military exercises annually. The partnership includes co-developing advanced defense technologies and improving operational readiness. Discussions are ongoing regarding US military overflight access in Indonesian airspace, which has received approval from Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
