JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto sealed a major defense deal on Tuesday, allowing Jakarta to acquire the Indian BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.
The agreement, part of over a dozen, was reached during Modi’s three-day visit to Indonesia, the first stop of his overseas visit to Indo-Pacific nations. The deal, reached a day after China test-launched a long-range ballistic missile, is expected to boost India’s defense exports and strategic cooperation between Jakarta and New Delhi.
