"The new agreement will commit Australia and Indonesia to consult at a leader and ministerial level, on a regular basis on matters of security, the Australian leader said. It will also facilitate mutually beneficial security activities, and if either or both countries' security is threatened, to consult and consider what measures may be taken, either individually or jointly, to deal with those threats, Albanese said."
"The security pact, to be signed in January, pledges both countries to consult each other on security concerns. Australia and Indonesia say they are close to signing a watershed defence treaty that will upgrade their already close collaboration on security issues. The treaty was approved on Wednesday by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who is on his first state visit to Australia, although the pact between the two countries will not be officially signed until January."
The treaty was approved by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto and will be signed in January. The agreement commits both countries to regular leader- and minister-level consultations on security matters and to facilitate mutually beneficial security activities. If either country's security is threatened, both will consult and consider individual or joint measures to address threats. Leaders described the pact as signaling a new era of close defence and security cooperation and emphasized neighbourly assistance during difficulties. The treaty text was not released, and Albanese said it is based on a 1995 security agreement.
