Jakarta, July 7: India and Indonesia have agreed to significantly expand their defence and strategic partnership, with New Delhi set to supply BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles to Indonesia as part of enhanced bilateral cooperation.
The announcement came after talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta on Tuesday. The leaders also discussed the possible supply of Astra missiles, strengthening maritime security, and enhancing cooperation in critical mineral supply chains.
The two countries signed nearly a dozen agreements covering a wide range of sectors, including defence, critical minerals, technology, food security, pharmaceuticals, and maritime security.
The BrahMos missile agreement marks another milestone in India’s growing defence exports. It follows similar defence deals signed with the Philippines and Vietnam, reflecting New Delhi’s efforts to strengthen strategic partnerships across the Indo-Pacific region.
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to deepening bilateral ties and expanding cooperation in areas of mutual interest, with a focus on regional security, economic growth, and technological collaboration. The agreements are expected to further strengthen the longstanding partnership between India and Indonesia.
