Indonesian and Australian leaders signed a new bilateral security treaty Friday that both governments say will deepen ties between the often-testy neighbors.
The treaty was signed in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, three months after Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto announced in Sydney that negotiations on the pact had been substantively concluded, highlighting their ambition to better utilize the two country's past security agreements inked in 1995 and 2006.
