In a move that analysts see as emblematic of Tokyo’s shift towards broader security alliances – and Jakarta’s quest to bolster its maritime defences – Japan and Indonesia are on the cusp of a landmark agreement to co-develop a warship for the Indonesian Navy.
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was expected to move the project forward on Saturday during talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in Jakarta.
Although details remain under wraps, experts speculate the design of the warship could draw on the advanced destroyers of Japan’s s Maritime Self-Defence Forces, retooled to meet Indonesia’s operational needs.
