Indonesia, Australia and their Homework

By
· 2 minutes read

There will be a lot of homework after President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo’s visit to Australia. Diligently doing the homework will be the key to successfully improving relations between the two countries.

Bilateral relations, including between Indonesia and Australia, are multidimensional involving economic, trade, science, technological and military relations. With regard to economic issues, Indonesia and Australia are continuing to finalize comprehensive economic partnership agreements that foster tariff cuts and trade promotion. The agreements are expected to be completed later this year.

For the military, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and President Jokowi agreed to restore cooperation. Just for the record, Indonesia suspended military cooperation last month after a member of the Indonesian Military (TNI) taking part in an exercise at the Australian Defense Force facility discovered teaching materials and messages that were considered insulting to Indonesia.
