Indonesia-South Korea Bilateral Relations Are Getting Stronger and More Solid​

06-10-2022 /
Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia Dr. (H.C.) Puan Maharani is pleased with the stronger and solid Indonesia-South Korea bilateral relations that have been going on since 1968. The reason is, since November 2017, through the "Republic of Korea-Republic of Indonesia Joint Vision Statement for Co-Prosperity and Peace", Indonesia's bilateral relations and cooperation with South Korea have entered a new chapter.

Not only that, the two country leaders agreed to upgrade the status of the partnership to a special strategic partnership and continued with the agreement of the Plan of Action for the Implementation of the Special Strategic Partnership (2021-2025). "With a focus on cooperation on four areas, namely: defense and foreign relations, bilateral trade and infrastructure development, people-to-people exchanges, and regional and global cooperation," said Puan in a written statement received by the Parliamentary team, Thursday (6/10/2022)

In addition, the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia appreciates the strengthening of cooperation between Indonesia and South Korea in the field of defense and security through The First RI-ROK Foreign and Defense Senior Officials Meeting. The cooperation is in the form of the defense equipment project of the KF-21 Boramae fighter aircraft and submarines.

"This includes capacity building for Indonesia's defense human resources," he continued. As for bilateral trade and infrastructure development, I appreciate the progress in several aspects, namely the IK-CEPA economic agreement to increase the pace of Indonesia's exports to South Korea, strategic investment cooperation in the electric car and battery industry and investment in the development of IKN reaching USD6.37 billion with 58 thousand workers.

"In 2020, it is a sign of the increasing synergy between Indonesia and South Korea with the signing of the first cooperation in the field of digital economy and Start-ups of the Republic of Indonesia-South Korea in the era of the G20 Presidency of Indonesia," explained the PDI-Perjuangan Faction Politician.

Puan believes that the cooperation relationship between Indonesia and South Korea will be stronger, especially in the economic sector where the increasing trend of bilateral trade reached USD18 billion in 2021, an increase quite sharply from the previous year of USD13 billion. Moreover, the synergy between Indonesia and South Korea is increasingly solid and productive. He also encouraged the concrete implementation of the Indonesia-Korea Economic Partnership Agreement.

"I invite the House of Representatives of South Korea to jointly support and encourage the two Governments to continue to develop bilateral cooperation for the common prosperity and welfare of the two countries," concluded Puan. (p/aha)

Turkish firm to aid in mass production of S. Korea's fighter jet​

by Daily Sabah with Reuters​

​

Turkish technology company SDT Space and Defense Technologies Inc. will continue to contribute to South Korea's domestically developed fighter jet during the mass production process after already providing a simulation link system to the project during the prototype stage.
The company's general manager, Ömer Korkut, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the firm made one of its most important exports by providing the in-arm simulation data link system for South Korea's fifth generation fighter jet, the KF-21, and stated that they delivered 19 air units and a ground station during the prototype phase of the project.
Korkut stated that they recently received another ground station order that they will deliver in April 2023.
For their next project, the company is working as the subcontractor of the LIG Nex1, Korkut said, noting that the decision to include the company in the project during the mass production process was recently revealed and it is very good news.
He said they expect 120 more product orders from 2024.

“It is important for us to be able to provide subsystems for a fifth-generation combat aircraft, as well as to a country that develops technology such as South Korea,” he said.
The next-generation aircraft is developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) in a project partially backed by Indonesia and is designed to be a cheaper, less stealthy alternative to the United States-built F-35, on which South Korea relies.
It completed its first test flight in July amid a push to replace aging military jets in the face of nuclear and missile threats from neighboring North Korea.
South Korea unveiled the prototype of the KF-21 in April last year, hailing the aircraft as the future backbone of its air force and a step towards greater military independence for the U.S. ally in North Asia. The mass production is set to begin in 2026.
