Indonesia–Japan Defence Convergence

Indonesia and Japan are quietly redrawing the security architecture of the Indo-Pacific. Indonesia–Japan Defence Convergence is a Strategic Intelligence Report that examines how Jakarta and Tokyo are deepening military, technological, and maritime cooperation in response to accelerating geopolitical uncertainty.

The report analyses the renewed momentum behind the 2023 Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, revived during high-level visits and defence dialogues. It explains how joint military exercises such as Super Garuda Shield and Komodo, resumed naval development projects, and defence technology transfers—including patrol vessels and frigate cooperation—are reshaping Indonesia’s maritime security posture. These moves are framed against China’s expanding influence in the South China Sea and growing anxiety over potential U.S. isolationism under a future Trump administration.

Beyond defence, the report evaluates Japan’s role in supporting Indonesia’s energy and food security ambitions, industrial modernisation, and ASEAN-centric security integration. Scenario analysis outlines how this partnership could evolve—from stabilising regional deterrence to provoking strategic pushback from Beijing—while highlighting Indonesia’s careful balancing between non-alignment and deeper Western engagement.

Designed for policymakers, defence planners, investors, diplomats, and Indo-Pacific strategists, this product transforms bilateral defence cooperation into strategic foresight.
