Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (July 7, 2026) said that India and Indonesia are going to deepen cooperation on global issues and reiterated the importance of the two-state solution to end the Israel-Palestine conflict. Mr. Modi made the remark while delivering a statement before the press in Jakarta where he and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto presided over the signing of multiple agreements including the ones that will allow India to deliver BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system and Astra Mk-1 beyond the visual-range air-to-air missiles to Indonesia.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn this period of global turbulence, India believes that the role of dialogue and diplomacy has become more important than ever before. On the issue of Palestine, we continue to support a two-state solution and the pursuit of lasting peace,\u201d said the Prime Minister while focusing on commonalities between India and Indonesia in dealing with globally important issues.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the \u201cspecial importance\u201d of the ASEAN grouping, he said, \u201cThere is strong synergy in our respective outlooks on the Indo-Pacific\u201d. A joint statement issued at the end of the official dialogue mentioned that Mr. Modi and Mr. Subianto expressed \u201cdeep concern\u201d over the war in West Asia and \u201cits global effects\u201d. \u201cThey welcomed the memorandum of understanding signed on 17 June 2026,\u201d mentioned the joint statement, while adding that \u201ctransit passage through the Strait of Hormuz\u201d has to be in \u201caccordance with international law including the provisions of UNCLOS\u201d.<\/p>\n
It further mentioned that the Indonesian President welcomed \u201cIndia\u2019s interest in partnering on the integrated development of the Sabang Port\u201d which will include maritime industries, and \u201cshore-based services supporting offshore energy activities in the Andaman Sea\u201d.<\/p>\n
The two sides signed 14 agreements and MoUs including two on BrahMos missile system and air-to-air missiles. Both are \u2018in-principle\u2019 agreements that are aimed at procurement of these weapon systems by Indonesia. The overarching agreement for the procurement of Astra Mk-1 beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles is for Indonesia\u2019s fleet of Su-30 fighter aircraft. The number of missiles to be acquired will be determined during the contract negotiations, an official has said.<\/p>\n
Indonesian Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin had visited India in November 2025 for discussions on the BrahMos missile deal, paving the way for the agreements during Mr. Modi\u2019s visit to Indonesia. Under the proposed arrangement, Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), which manufactures the Astra missile, will integrate the weapon system with the Indonesian Air Force\u2019s Su-30 fighters.<\/p>\n
The Astra Mk-1 is already in operational service with the Indian Air Force and is powered by a solid rocket motor, offering an engagement range of approximately 80-110 kilometres. The BrahMos missile, jointly developed by India\u2019s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia\u2019s NPO Mashinostroyenia, has a range of over 290 kilometres and travels at speeds of up to Mach 2.8.<\/p>\n
Indonesia bestowed the Prime Minister with its highest honour \u2018Bintang Adipurna of the Republic of Indonesia\u2019. Mr. Modi is the second Indian Prime Minister to receive this award. India\u2019s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru received the same award posthumously on December 12, 1995. \u201cIt reflects the goodwill of the people of Indonesia and stands as a tribute to the historic and enduring bonds of friendship between India and Indonesia,\u201d said Mr. Modi in his press statement expressing gratitude to Indonesian leadership and people for the gesture.<\/p>\n
