The foreign ministers of the Group of 20 (G20) countries are attending a joint summit on Friday on the Indonesian island of Bali, amid tensions between the West and Russia over Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov was in attendance despite objections from Western leaders. However, he left early and walked out of a morning session as German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock criticized Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.

"The fact that the Russian foreign minister spent a large part of the negotiations here not in the room but outside the room underlines that there is not even a millimeter of willingness to talk on the part of the Russian government at the moment," Baerbock said.

Indonesia, France agree to strengthen defense cooperation​

9th July 2022

Kuta, Bali (ANTARA) - Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi and her French counterpart, Catherine Colonna, agreed to boost partnership between both nations, especially in the field of defense.

The two ministers met on the sidelines of the G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting (FMM) held in Nusa Dua, Bali, on Friday (June 8).

"Both foreign ministers also agreed to immediately hold a 2+2 meeting (foreign ministers and defense ministers) this year," the Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted in a statement on Saturday.

Indonesia and France inked several agreements on defense cooperation, including a contract to purchase six Rafale fighter aircraft between the Indonesian Ministry of Defense and French military aircraft manufacturer Dassault, which is the start of a larger contract for the next 36 Rafale fighter aircraft.

Both nations also signed an MoU on research and development cooperation between Indonesian shipbuilder PT PAL and the Naval Group, an MoU on the Offset and ToT Program cooperation between Dassault and Indonesian aircraft manufacturer PT DI, an MoU on cooperation in the telecommunications sector between PT LEN and Thales Group, as well as cooperation for the manufacture of large-caliber ammunition between PT Pindad and Nexter Munition.

The Defense Cooperation Agreement (DCA), however, requires ratification from the parliaments of the two countries to be implemented properly.

The French foreign minister also expressed her support for Indonesia's chairmanship in the ASEAN next year and conveyed France's commitment to enhancing cooperation with the ASEAN and the region.

France also congratulated Indonesia for the success in holding the G20 FMM.

Indonesia's success demonstrated that the G20 remains relevant as a catalytic forum for solving global issues, including those related to food and energy security.

"Meanwhile, the Indonesian foreign minister exchanged views on efforts to stop war and encourage dialogue to achieve peace," according to the statement.

I dont know why Indonesian member in other forum cannot differentiate our FM statement with the news reporter own writing (he reminded about MOU in February 2022 between Indonesia and France- Defense Minister program) ?

Based on Minister of planning program until 2024, there are only another 1.2 billion USD foreign backed program for MRCA acquisition. So this administration only want to add another 6-7 Rafale, which is enough to fill F5 squadron that previously also only has 12 F5 tiger planes if the first 6 order is added.

The reality also tell that for this year there is no acquisition program for another MRCA ( beside those first 6 Rafale order) based on recent green book from Planning Minister. And despite there is another 1.2 billion USD foreign backed MRCA program for Jokowi last period ( 2022-2024) in Planning Minister blue book, not sure that the program can be realized since it is still in blue book, not yet entering green book and getting PSP from Finance Minister.

Blue book of Planning Minister (Bappenas)-Green Book of Bappenas-PSP from Finance Minister- pendamping Rupiah murni (down payment) from Finance Minister. That is the order of process of any acquisition using foreign backed loan in Indonesia.

Indonesia Raider unit

Raider is formed from reguler infantery troops. It is troops with commando capability and being trained by Army Special Force (Kopassus). In every Kodam (Regional Military Command) there should be Raider unit. Kodam exist in every Indonesia province as Indonesia spread the Army into all its provinces, in the past it is part of Soeharto military regime policy to control the country. Now as our Armed Force become truly professional soldiers, Kodam is still maintained.
