Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, to begin a state visit with President Prabowo Subianto.
The leaders signed defence and cooperation deals, including a joint project for Sabang Port, to deepen strategic ties between Asia's two largest democracies.
This collaboration aims to enhance maritime security and regional connectivity as both nations navigate global economic headwinds.
- Indonesia calls India the 'Mother of Democracy' while India refers to Indonesia as the 'Mother of Democracy' in their parliamentary exchanges.
- The Sabang Port is strategically located near the Strait of Malacca, a critical chokepoint for over 60% of the world's maritime trade.
- India's Great Nicobar port project is designed to connect to the Indian Ocean, complementing Indonesia's maritime network in the region.
