Not only that, it is also believed that Feri's patrol cooperation can improve bilateral and military relations between Malaysia and Indonesia.
With this collaboration, Feri hopes that both Indonesia and Malaysia can protect each other's sovereignty of the airspace.
"This shows the determination of the two countries to continue to work together in maintaining regional security, which will ultimately support regional economic growth and stability," Feri said in the press release.
