Indonesia and Australia have recently concluded negotiations on a new bilateral defense treaty aimed at bolstering their military cooperation. The agreement, set to be signed in the coming days, will enable both nations to conduct joint military operations within each other's territories. This development comes as Indonesian president-elect and defense minister met with Australian officials to solidify the pact.
The deepening defense ties between the two countries have assumed greater significance in light of escalating tensions with China. Australian leaders have historically prioritized diplomatic relations with Jakarta, with the new treaty marking a milestone in their defense collaboration.
