Turkish Foreign Minister Arrives in Jakarta for Official Talks

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan arrived in Jakarta on Tuesday night for an official visit aimed at deepening bilateral cooperation with Indonesia. He was welcomed by Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono, who emphasized the strong solidarity between the two nations.

During his visit, Fidan is scheduled to engage in discussions focused on expanding cooperation across various sectors, including infrastructure, energy, transportation, digitalization, artificial intelligence, high technology, and the halal food industry. The objective is to significantly increase bilateral trade volume, with a target of reaching US$10 billion.

Discussions will also cover ongoing defense industry projects and potential new areas of collaboration. Fidan will reaffirm Turkey's and Indonesia's commitment to dialogue on the situation in Palestine and their joint efforts to achieve lasting peace. The ministers will also address a range of regional and global security issues, including developments concerning Iran, Syria, the Russia-Ukraine war, and the broader Asia-Pacific security dynamics.

This visit follows a series of recent high-level engagements between the two countries. Fidan previously visited Indonesia in February 2025, and the two foreign ministers met in Ankara in January for the first-ever Indonesia-Türkiye 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministers’ Meeting.
