France–Indonesia Defence Ties: Reading the LoI as a Step Toward Strategic Partnership
Type :
WebinarSummary
In our webinar, “France-Indonesia Defence Ties: Reading the LoI as a Step Toward Strategic Partnership,” we discussed the recent signing of the Letter of Intent (LoI) between Jakarta and Paris as part of a broader pattern of cooperation marked by partnership action, operational deployments, and institutional engagement. How is the France-Indonesia defence partnership evolving within the broader strategic and geopolitical context? As the development is shaped not only by the collaborative efforts but also by the alignment of their foreign policies, this brings the role of policymakers and industry stakeholders into play. We also discussed actionable insights and practical recommendations that can be implemented to support the strategic and long-term France-Indonesia defence collaboration.
