However, the governments did not disclose financial terms or other details of the deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reuters reported that, in addition to the BrahMos cruise missile system, India is also expected to supply <strong>Astra air-to-air missiles<\/strong> to Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, officials from BrahMos Aerospace had stated that negotiations were underway with Indonesia for a potential deal valued between <strong>$200 million and $350 million<\/strong>. India has previously concluded BrahMos export agreements with the <strong>Philippines<\/strong> and <strong>Vietnam<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Defence Cooperation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also said that Indonesia&#8217;s defence company <strong>Republikorp<\/strong> and India&#8217;s <strong>Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL)<\/strong> signed a separate agreement concerning <strong>air-to-air missile systems<\/strong>, further strengthening bilateral defence collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Economic and Industrial Agreements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside defence cooperation, the two countries signed several <strong>memorandums of understanding (MoUs)<\/strong> aimed at strengthening supply chains in key sectors, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Critical minerals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agriculture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, <strong>Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL)<\/strong> and Indonesia&#8217;s <strong>Krakatau Steel<\/strong> agreed to establish a joint venture to manufacture <strong>stainless steel slabs<\/strong> in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaders Highlight Strategic Partnership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <strong>Prabowo Subianto<\/strong> described India and Indonesia as two of the world&#8217;s largest democracies, saying that closer cooperation between the two countries would benefit the broader Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that both governments would accelerate negotiations on a <strong>preferential trade agreement<\/strong> to deepen economic ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister <strong>Narendra Modi<\/strong> said India and Indonesia would continue working together to enhance <strong>maritime security in the Indian Ocean<\/strong>, emphasizing the importance of regional stability and cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Direct Mention in Joint Statements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the Indonesian Presidential Palace announced the defence agreement, <strong>Reuters<\/strong> noted that the two leaders did <strong>not explicitly mention the BrahMos missile deal<\/strong> in their joint public statements following the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement nevertheless reflects the growing strategic and defence relationship between India and Indonesia, as both countries seek closer cooperation in security, trade, manufacturing, and regional maritime affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAKARTA: India and Indonesia have signed an agreement related to the
