Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, during the 8th India-Indonesia Joint Commission Meeting (JCM), expressed a strong desire for concrete outcomes to enhance bilateral relations. He highlighted the importance of a tracking mechanism to assess progress since the last JCM in 2022 and to follow up on discussions from the recent visit of Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto to India. Sugiono noted the positive diplomatic momentum between the two nations, referencing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Indonesia. The meeting, co-chaired by Sugiono and Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, serves as a platform to review commitments made during high-level visits and to ensure the bilateral relationship remains dynamic. The two countries have also maintained robust security cooperation, particularly in counter-terrorism, as evidenced by recent meetings. Since elevating their ties to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2018, India and Indonesia have actively engaged in various ASEAN initiatives, further solidifying their partnership amidst evolving regional dynamics.
