Australia and Indonesia finalise significant defense pact to deepen military ties

ai generated text

Australia and Indonesia have finalized a new defense pact, with the details of the agreement not yet announced. The pact allows for joint military operations and exercises between the two countries, with Australian and Indonesian militaries able to operate from each other's territories. This is part of a broader trend of Australia strengthening its defense ties with regional partners, including the AUKUS military agreement. The new pact is seen as a significant development, with Australian Prime Minister Albanese describing it as a "historic treaty" that will "bolster our strong defense cooperation".

    1. It will be a vital plank for our two countries to support each other's security, which is vital to both countries, but also to the stability of the region that we share.
    2. This historic treaty... will be a vital plank for our two countries to support each other's security.

    1. What this agreement will do is provide for much greater interoperability between our defence forces, it will provide for much more exercises between our defence forces, it will see us working together the global commons to support the rules-based order and, importantly, it will allow us to operate from each other's countries.
    2. And when you consider the journeys of Indonesia and Australia over the decades, it is profoundly historic that we have reached this moment where we find security in each other.
    3. Importantly, it will allow us to operate from each other's countries, and in that sense this agreement will be the deepest, the most significant agreement that our two countries have ever made.
    4. The map really determines that Australia and Indonesia as the closest of neighbours have a shared destiny, but from this moment forth, that destiny is very much defined by deep strategic trust.
