India and Indonesia hold 1st Joint Commission Meeting since 2022
India and Indonesia just wrapped up their first big Joint Commission Meeting since 2022, led by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono in New Delhi.
The focus? Boosting their partnership across defense, trade, maritime issues, and health care, right before Prime Minister Modi heads to Jakarta this July as part of his Indo-Pacific tour.
India and Indonesia press for action
The meeting wasn't just about reviewing progress; both sides pushed for real outcomes on things like political teamwork, regional cooperation, digital infrastructure, and space technology.
Jaishankar credited last year's visit by Indonesia's President Prabowo for giving the partnership fresh energy.
Sugiono stressed turning promises into action. Indonesia reaffirmed its central role in India's Act East Policy, with both countries set to keep deepening ties, planning the next round of talks at a mutually convenient date.
