Defense Minister Prabowo Welcomes Defense Cooperation With Croatia

JAKARTA - Minister of Defense (Menhan) Prabowo Subianto welcomed cooperation in the defense sector with Croatia as an effort to increase defense capacity and strengthen the domestic defense industry.

Defense Minister Prabowo said this when receiving a visit from the Croatian Ambassador to Indonesia Nebosja Koharovic, at the Ministry of Defense, Jakarta, Wednesday, April 27.

"Although until now there has been no signing of a defense cooperation document between Indonesia and Croatia, Indonesia opens up opportunities to establish defense cooperation between the two countries," Prabowo said in a press release quoted by Antara, Wednesday, April 27.

At the end of the meeting, Defense Minister Prabowo expressed his appreciation to the Croatian Ambassador to Indonesia Nebosja Koharovic, who has actively played a role in pursuing bilateral relations between the two countries and invited Croatia to be able to participate in the 2022 Indo Defense Industry Exhibition.

Efforts to increase defense cooperation continue to be carried out by Defense Minister Prabowo, one of which is with Qatar. The former Danjen Kopassus also hopes that Indonesia-Qatar defense cooperation can increase.

"Hopefully the cooperation agenda between Indonesia and Qatar will increase and the relationship between the two countries will be stronger in the future," Prabowo said when receiving a visit from Qatar Defense Attache (Athan) Fahad Mohd. NM Al-Dehemi, at the Ministry of Defense, Jakarta, Tuesday (26/4).
