In addition to military-technical talks, the two countries agreed to hold a consultation forum to coordinate plans for bilateral military activities in 2025. This consultation is expected to streamline planning and implementation of various defense programs.

As part of the forward-looking approach, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense plans to send a delegation to Russia in the near future to initiate discussions on expanding defense cooperation for 2026. This initiative aims to maintain the momentum of dialogue and collaborative efforts already underway.

The meeting was also attended by several high-ranking Indonesian defense officials, including the Deputy Minister of Defense, the Secretary General of the Ministry, the Inspector General, and the Director General of Defense Strategy. Their presence underscores Indonesia’s strong commitment to enhancing its defense ties with Russia. (Uki Ruknuddin)
