Two years ago, India-Indonesia held their first security dialogue during which both nations agreed on operational cooperation in security and counter-terrorism.
These dialogues are seen as a tool to strengthen the diplomatic relation between the two countries.
Earlier, in January, External Affairs Minister (EAM) S Jaishankar exchanged views on the present situation of Myanmar and Afghanistan with his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi.
Jaishankar also agreed to take forward the bilateral ties between the two nations and to work closely in the G-20 Troika. The G20 Troika refers to the top grouping within the G20 that consists of the current, previous and incoming presidencies -- Indonesia, Italy and India.
India will assume the G20 presidency on December 1, 2022, from Indonesia and will convene the G20 Leaders' Summit for the first time in India in 2023.
