lg.php


Jakarta. Indonesia and Turkey have agreed to seek closer cooperation on trade and investment, defense, energy and combating terrorism, President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo said in a statement on Thursday (06/07).

Jokowi was in Turkey on a one-day state visit on his way to attend the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. He met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and 25 chief executives from the country's shipbuilding, defense and energy industries.

"We have agreed to continue the positive trend of trade and investment, including negotiations on the Indonesia-Turkey Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement [IT-CEPA]," Jokowi said in a joint press statement with Erdoğan.

Indonesia and Turkey agreed on Thursday to kick off negotiations of the bilateral free trade deal that aims to reduce or remove trade barriers, and the creation of a climate conducive to investment.

Turkish investment in Indonesia forms a negligible part of the $7.3 billion in foreign direct investment that flowed into Southeast Asia's largest economy in the first quarter of this year. Turkish companies invested $100,000 during the period, which constitutes only a fifth of their investments in the country in the same period a year earlier.

Indonesia and Turkey recorded $1.3 billion in bilateral trade last year, with a $713,000 surplus in Indonesia's favor.

A memorandum of understanding between aircraft manufacturer Dirgantara Indonesia and the Turkish aerospace industry seeks to establish closer cooperation.

"We have also agreed to increase cooperation in the field of submarine and drone production, which will be followed up by teams from both countries," Jokowi said.

The president pointed out that Indonesia and Turkey have proven success in defense industry cooperation with the Kaplan medium tank showcased earlier this year.

KSAU Rahasiakan Penganti Jet Tempur F-5

Yogyakarta,GATRAnews - TNI Angkatan Udara tengah melakukan peremajaan pesawat tempur untuk memperkuat alat utama sistem pertahanan atau alutsista

Kepala Staf TNI AU Marsekal Hadi Tjahyanto menyatakan telah mengganti pesawat tempur F-5 dan pesawat baru tersebut segera datang. Terkait spesifikasinya, KSAU merahasiakan.

KSAU mengatakan setahun ini skuadron F-5 memang tidak lagi menjadi kekuatan tempur utama TNI AU. Hal ini karena suku cadang pesawat tersebut tidak diproduksi lagi.

Namun semua personelnya tetap menjaga kemampuan dengan mengoperasikan pesawat SU-27, SU-30, maupun T-50 Golden Eagle.

“Kami pastikan pengganti F-5 akan segera datang. Target kami sampai akhir tahun ini. Jika terealisasi, maka TNI AU akan memiliki alutsista baru yang lebih maju,” jelas KSAU Marsekal Hadi.

Melihat kebutuhan dan perkembangan kedirgantaraan, KSAU menjamin pesawat yang akan datang ini berasal dari generasi 4,5 yang memiliki kemampuan dan peforma lebih canggih dibandingkan generasi 5. Demikian juga dengan sistem pertahanannya, generasi 4,5 lebih unggul.

Soal negara mana yang menjadi produsennya, KSAU enggan menyebutkan.

“Tapi yang pasti, sebagai persiapan personel. Kami membuka kesempatan kepada seluruh lulusan AAU untuk ikut serta seleksi penerbangan baik untuk pesawat tempur maupun helikopter. TNI AU memerlukan prajurit yang memiliki kemampuan tinggi dalam pengoperasian alutsista baru yang lebih canggih nanti,” pungkasnya.

KSAU menjelaskan hal itu usai upacara wisuda 117 sarjana lulusan Akademi Angkatan Udara (AAU) 2017, Kamis (6/7) di Gedung Sabang Merauke Kompleks AAU DI Yogyakarta.

Kepala Penerangan AAU Mayor Sus Ambar Rejiyanti menjelaskan taruna yang dinyatakan lulus selanjutnya bergelar Sarjana Terapan Pertahanan S.Tr (Han). Mereka berasal dari tiga program studi yaitu Aeronautika Pertahanan, Elektronika Pertahanan, dan Teknik Manajemen Industri Pertahanan.

“Lulusan terbaik tahun ini diraih Sersan Mayor Satu Taruna Bernadinus Yogya Kristian dari program Elektronika Pertahanan. Selanjutnya semua taruna akan dilantik menjadi perwira remaja bersama taruna dari kesatuan lainnya oleh Presiden Joko Widodo,” jelas Mayor Ambar.

Selain 117 taruna, AAU juga meluluskan 12 taruni tahun Werfing atau tahun pendidikan 2013 dengan lima di antaranya mencapai indeks prestasi kumulatif di atas 3,5.

I'm happy and worried at the same time.... Worried that our farmers can't afford Pindad farming machineries (for example Quick farming machineries are cheaper and has entered market from 1970s, but hasn't seen much success).

But atleast the tractor can be configured as construction machinery too, where the price won't be an issue (the competitor would be British JCB tractors)

President Jokowi encourages G20 countries to combat terrorism

621697_620.jpg


Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has encouraged the G20 member states to unite and fight terrorism during the G20 Leaders Retreat Session I Summit.

"Do we surrender to terror? Will we remain silent? We must not surrender, we must not remain silent, we must unite to combat terrorism," Jokowi said in remarks at the Hamburg Messe Und Congress, as mentioned in a statement from the Presidential Secretariat received by ANTARA here, Friday.

According to the President, a balanced approach between soft power and hard power is a powerful solution for the eradication of terrorism.

In addition to this, the deradicalization program for former terror actors, which were conducted in Indonesia, has helped reduce their intentions to do the same acts.

"History has taught us that military weapons and powers cannot eradicate terrorism, as negative ideologies can only be corrected with the right way of thinking. So, soft power approach in the form of deradicalization must continue," the president remarked.

In his speech, he also spoke about the incident in Marawi City, Philippines, which is now controlled by the ISIS group and has forced people to flee.

"The Marawi case is a wake-up call for all of us that the ISIS network has now spread and affiliated with local terrorists," the President stressed.

Jokowi confirmed that trilateral negotiations between Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines, initiated by Indonesia, had been held.

In addition to this, ASEAN will also work with Australia to combat terrorism in the region.(*)
