'No going back' for Indonesia and South Korea defence cooperation after jet funding dispute


JAKARTA/SEOUL, Feb 18 (Reuters): Defence cooperation between South Korea and Indonesia will expand, diplomats from the two countries said on Friday, after a dispute over funding for a joint fighter jet project was resolved last year.

Indonesia had halted payments for its 20% share of development costs for the KFX jet in 2019, casting a cloud over the 8.1 trillion won ($6.16 billion) project, but it resumed payment late last year.
