The Military-Technical Cooperation Factor in the Bilateral Relations of Indonesia with the World Countries

ЮГО-ВОСТОЧНАЯ АЗИЯ: АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПРОБЛЕМЫ РАЗВИТИЯ, 2020, №3(48), 74-91

 
Annotation: The article analyzes the modern cooperation of Indonesia with the leading countries of the world and the ASEAN countries in the field of military-technical cooperation. Indonesia maintains military-technical ties with the Russian Federation, the USA, China, Europe, the countries of Southeast Asia and other countries of the world. Indonesia has repeatedly stated its desire to become a major center of power and a significant regional power, as a result of which the ruling circles of Indonesia try not to enter into defensive alliances with other states and avoid a strong rapprochement with the major powers of modern times: Russia, the United States and China. We can say that Indonesia, like a pendulum, balances between relationships that are beneficial to it, taking advantage.
