JAKARTA — Indonesia and Japan have agreed to work more closely on security matters as concerns grow over China’s maritime expansion and the incoming U.S. administration’s commitment to the region.
President Prabowo Subianto on Saturday hosted Shigeru Ishiba at the presidential palace in Bogor on the outskirts of Jakarta as part of a visit by the Japanese prime minister to Southeast Asia’s largest economy. Both leaders took office last October and this was their first summit meeting together.
