The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | World | Tue, February 03 2015, 4:50 PM
Indonesia and Japan will be agreeing to partnerships in the field of defense, particularly in the transfer of Japan-manufactured defense equipment to Indonesia, a top envoy has said.
“There will a memorandum of understanding [MoU] in the field of defense between Indonesia and Japan that will be signed,” Indonesian Ambassador to Japan Yusron Ihza Mahendra said as quoted by Antara news agency in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He said Indonesia’s cooperation with Japan to develop its defense capacity would bring positive impacts to other fields, one of which was the economy.
“If the MoU on defense cooperation could be signed, this would be good for the development of Indonesia’s defense and economy,” said Yusron.
“With the cooperation, Indonesia’s defense will be stronger while our economy will get a kind of a new injection of strength,” he went on.
Yusron said the defense partnerships could also increase Indonesia’s diplomatic strength both in the region and on the international level.
He refused to provide details on when the MoU on Indonesian-Japanese defense cooperation would be signed, except to say that the signing of the agreement would be conducted during upcoming President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s visit to Japan.
“President Jokowi will visit Japan. I expect it will be around March,” said Yusron. (ebf)(++++)
