Indian officials working on enhancing cooperation with Jakarta
According to defense sources, senior officials from Jakarta expressed interest in collaborating on aircraft carrier construction during recent discussions with the Indian side.
Indian officials are also working on enhancing cooperation with Jakarta in the field of shipbuilding, they added.
India and Indonesia have agreed to begin negotiations on the BrahMos supersonic missile deal, with Indonesian teams expected to visit India soon for the talks. One important requirement for the missile deal with Indonesia will be approval from Russia, sources said.
India has successfully delivered the BrahMos missile to the Philippines, which had placed an order worth over USD 335 million a few years ago. The deliveries have already been completed, with more expected in the near future. Several countries, including Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and multiple nations in the Middle East, have expressed interest in the BrahMos missile system, a joint venture between India and Russia that incorporates several Russian components.
