Australia and Indonesia agreed a treaty-level defense cooperation agreement which allow Australian and Indonesian militaries to operate from each other's countries, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday.
"It will be a vital plank for our two countries to support each other's security, which is vital to both countries, but also to the stability of the region that we share," Albanese told a joint press conference in Canberra with Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto.
This is good to see, the smaller countries bonding together like this is the best thing for the world. The more they do this, the less power the superpowers have.
