Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiono arrived in New Delhi on June 7 to co-chair the 8th India-Indonesia Joint Commission Meeting alongside India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, aiming to deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership the two countries established in 2018. The talks build on commitments made during Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's state visit to India in January 2025 and cover expanded cooperation across multiple strategic sectors. The visit underscores the growing importance of ties between the two largest democracies in South and Southeast Asia, both of which are active participants in ASEAN-led regional frameworks including the ASEAN-India Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for 2026–2030.
