Indonesia training its special forces with counterparts from the United States and China, the government says. "In terms of defense cooperation, [...] Indonesia, namely the defense minister, has played an important role in its globalization..." Deputy Defense Minister Lieut. Gen. Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin said in Jakarta on Thursday. Both training programs are conducted in West Java and are scheduled to run for one month, Sjafrie added. "At the same time, Indonesia is also the representative of ASEAN [...] and can connect ASEAN with China and the United States," he said. China and Indonesia would complete policy and Navy-to-Navy talks before conducting any training programs together, Sjafrie said. "The Navy-to-Navy talks are needed for maritime security," he said, adding that the focus would be on the Molucca Strait.
