Beijing (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu visited several Chinese defense industries on Wednesday morning as part of his visit to China that is aimed at forging defense cooperation between the two countries.

Ryamizard visited China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) that produces high-technology military and defense equipment and China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC).

Indonesia and China have forged defense cooperation since they established a bilateral consultation forum in the defense field in 2007 as part of the strategic partnership declaration agreed upon on April 25, 2005. The two countries agreed to form a comprehensive partnership in October 2013.

As part of cooperation in the defense industry, the Indonesian Defense Ministry and the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence of the Peoples Republic of China (SASTIND) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on March 22, 2011.

The MoU covers the procurement of military equipment in certain fields based on government-to-government mechanism.

Under the MoU, they also agreed to transfer of technology for certain military equipment encompassing assembling, testing, maintenance, modification, upgrading, and training.

After visiting the Chinese defense industries, Ryamizard paid a courtesy visit to Deputy Chairman of the Central Military Committee Fan Changlong. He is also scheduled to hold talks with his Chinese counterpart Chang Wanquan on Thursday (Oct. 15).

While in China, he will also visit the Chinese Special Police Station and attend the China-ASEAN Defense Ministers Informal Meeting on October 15-16 and the sixth Xiangshan Forum on October 16-18.(*)

Good trend, let's strengthen military cooperation between the two countries, regional peace is of utmost importance, enforce it if need to. In fact, in order to build peace enforcement capability and protect economic development along the MSR (Maritime Silk Road), tri-lateral co-op between Indonesia, Pakistan & China should be strengthened.

Great to see increased military cooperation between China and Indonesia.

Indonesia is the largest country in the Muslim world as well as ASEAN. Improving ties should be a priority.

Indonesia and China pledge to deepen defence industry ties
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
14 October 2015


China and Indonesia have pledged to strengthen collaboration in military technologies and defence industrial activities.

Following meetings in Beijing between General Fan Changlong, the vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission, and visiting Indonesian Defense Minister Ryamizard Ryacudu, the Chinese Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the two countries are looking to deepen co-operation in a range of "defence and military fields".

These include joint exercises, training and maritime security activities as well as technologies and defence production. These priorities are in line with Jakarta's stated intention to develop its alliance with China under the five-year tenure of President Joko Widodo, who came to office in October 2014

Well said bro!

Indonesia is a huge & fast-rising industrial power with large human capital, located in the cross-road of the modern days silk road (MSR) which bridges Iran in west Asia, Pakistan in the south, Indonesia in the middle, China in the east and Russia in the north. These FIVE ANCHORS should strengthen ties, deepen mutual strategic trusts into forming a loop of security to service economic development for all countries in the region.

These include joint exercises, training and maritime security activities as well as technologies and defence production. These priorities are in line with Jakarta's stated intention to develop its alliance with China under the five-year tenure of President Joko Widodo, who came to office in October 2014

This is a very pragmatic step in solidifying an alliance as proposed by President Widodo, i.e. co-op between two industrial economies in defense industry. Indonesia has rich experience in this field working with other friendly states e.g. KFX-IFX, Chang Bogo SSK, I believe the addition of China will hugely benefit Indonesian defense industry including its broad supply chain in the whole national economy.
