The partnership between the UK and Indonesia holds immense
potential to create a more prosperous, secure and sustainable
future for the people of both our countries. Today we commit to
forging a new, deeper Strategic Partnership that delivers on this
potential.
This Strategic Partnership is founded on our shared values as
sovereign democracies, including respect for human rights and
commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is
grounded in the principles of mutual respect, cooperation, and
sovereignty. While led by our governments, it brings together the
whole of our societies – including our businesses, our academic,
civil society and cultural organisations, and our people.
Implementation will be conducted in accordance with the
prevailing national laws and regulations of each side, consistent
with their respective obligations under international law and the
principles of the UN Charter.
This Strategic Partnership will drive results across four
strategic pillars:
- Economic Growth: Our people have been trading partners for
centuries. Through our new Economic Growth Partnership, we will
unleash our businesses to drive the trade that powers the
companies and jobs of the future – from defence and advanced
manufacturing to clean energy and critical minerals.
- Climate, Energy and Nature: The climate crisis presents our
maritime nations with similar challenges. Together we will
champion global efforts to preserve a liveable planet for future
generations, while delivering clean energy, green jobs and
long-term food and energy security for our people.
- Defence and Security: The global order is at its most
unstable and contested in modern times. Through active
cooperation in defence, security and foreign affairs we will
guard against polarisation, strengthen international law and
institutions, and deliver a more secure future.
- People and Society: Our strength lies in the vibrancy of our
communities. We will support closer partnerships between our
people through the exchange of skills, cultures and ideas.
The Strategic Partnership will be anchored in sustained
high-level political engagement, including regular contact at
Leader level to provide strategic direction and oversight,
directly supported by regular engagement between our foreign
ministers. Specific areas of work will be overseen by relevant
ministers or senior officials from both sides.
Our partnership is for the long-term. Through this document, we
commit to transform our bilateral relations through to 2045. We
look forward to a future defined by shared purpose, mutual
benefit, and enduring friendship.
