日本将向印度尼西亚提供两艘高速巡逻艇以加强地区海上安全

日本首相石破茂周六表示，日本将向印度尼西亚提供两艘高速巡逻艇，面对中国日益增强的自信，东京寻求加强地区海上安全合作。

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.

日本首相石破茂周六宣布，日本将向印度尼西亚提供两艘高速巡逻艇，作为东京在中国日益自信的情况下加强地区海上安全合作努力的一部分。

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

石破茂在访问雅加达期间与印度尼西亚总统普拉博沃·苏比安托就多项双边事务进行了会谈，期间透露了这一承诺。

"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.

政府援引石破在一份联合声明中表示：“我们同意就我们的海上安全展开工作级别的防务磋商，包括国防装备技术合作。”

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

“我们还同意……通过官方安全援助提供高速巡逻艇，这将是我们与印度尼西亚的首次合作。”

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

石破说，两国还同意在脱碳能源领域进行合作，包括地热能、氢、氨和生物燃料。

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

在抵达雅加达之前，石破茂在吉隆坡与马来西亚总理安瓦尔·易卜拉欣举行了会谈。

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

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.
