Indonesia is seeking to establish defense cooperation with Finland in cybersecurity and data protection as part of efforts to strengthen bilateral ties, the Indonesian Defense Ministry said Tuesday, reported Xinhua.
The initiative was discussed during a meeting between Indonesian Defense Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin and Finnish Ambassador to Indonesia Pekka Kaihilahti at the ministry's headquarters in Central Jakarta.
"The meeting discussed opportunities to strengthen Indonesia-Finland defense cooperation, particularly in data sovereignty and protection, C4ISR technology, satellite communications, maritime domain awareness, surveillance systems, cybersecurity and the development of maritime defense capabilities," Sjafrie wrote on his official Instagram account.
The minister said Finland's advanced technological capabilities made it a suitable partner for cybersecurity cooperation.
Indonesia also hopes to expand cooperation in human resource development to support the use of defense technologies, he said, adding that the meeting was expected to pave the way for closer bilateral collaboration.
