Japan to give Indonesia two high-speed patrol boats to boost regional maritime security

Japan will provide Indonesia with two high-speed patrol boats, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced Saturday, as part of Tokyo's efforts to enhance regional maritime security cooperation amid China's increasing assertiveness.

Ishiba disclosed the pledge during his visit to Jakarta, where he engaged in talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on various bilateral matters.

"We agreed on launching working-level defence consultations regarding our maritime security, including defence equipment technical cooperation," Ishiba stated in a joint statement, as quoted by the government.

"We also agreed to... offer high-speed patrol boats through Official Security Assistance, which will mark our first with Indonesia."

According to Ishiba, the two nations also consented to collaborate in decarbonized energy sectors, including geothermal power, hydrogen, ammonia, and biofuels.

Prior to arriving in Jakarta, Ishiba held talks in Kuala Lumpur with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

"For our foreign policy, enhancing cooperation with Southeast Asia is among the top priorities," Ishiba said.

With the US encouraging it to counter China, Japan has been strengthening security ties in the region.

China lays claim to nearly all of the South China Sea, despite an international ruling in 2016 that concluded its claims have no legal basis.

Tokyo is already providing equipment and other assistance to the Philippines, which is engaged in territorial disputes with Beijing.

Last year, the Philippines ratified a key defence pact with Japan, which allows them to deploy troops on each other's soil.

The visit to Malaysia and Indonesia marks Ishiba's first official state visit since taking office in October.
