Indonesian Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto received an invitation from US Secretary of Defence Mark Esper, to visit the United States on October 15-19, 2020, to deliberate on details of bilateral cooperation in the defense field.

Spokesman for the Indonesian Defence Minister Dahnil Anzar Simanjuntak noted in a written statement released on Thursday said that the invitation is intended to continue talks on details of bilateral cooperation in the defense field.

In accordance with its free and active foreign policy, Indonesia is not involved in any foreign military alliance, but it solely conducts defence diplomacy in various countries, Simanjutak remarked as quoted by Antara.

Hence, Subianto will accept the US government’s official invitation through Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, he noted. (Antaranews)
