💨 Abstract

Indonesia will increase its defense partnerships and focus on issues affecting its sovereignty, particularly maritime security, sea passage, and fisheries. The country will continue to support the completion of a code of conduct between ASEAN and China on the South China Sea and prioritize ASEAN's centrality. Indonesia does not consider itself a party in disputes over the sea but has been challenged by China's coast guard intrusions into its exclusive economic zone.
