S. Korea, Indonesia leaders agree to expand defence cooperation


SEOUL: South Korea President Yoon Suk-yeol and Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto on Wednesday (April 17) agreed to expand cooperation on defence, electric vehicles and infrastructure, South Korea's Presidential office said.

The two spoke by phone months before Prabowo is due to take office. The stakes are high for South Korea, which has an unprecedented - and rocky - arrangement with Indonesia to develop a next generation fighter jet and is also hoping for a cut of lucrative infrastructure projects.
