India-Indonesia Strategic Partnership
India and Indonesia share a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, elevated during PM Modi's 2018 visit to Jakarta. The relationship spans defence, maritime security, trade, digital cooperation, and cultural exchange — with growing alignment on Indo-Pacific security issues.
- India and Indonesia are both members of ASEAN+India mechanisms, G20, and the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA).
- The two countries have a history of joint naval exercises (Samudra Shakti) and coast guard cooperation.
- Indonesia's archipelagic position astride the Strait of Malacca and the Sunda Strait makes it a critical maritime partner for India's Indo-Pacific strategy.
- Both nations share concerns about Chinese maritime assertiveness in the South China Sea, though Indonesia maintains an officially non-aligned posture.
