"Today, Prime Minister Albanese and I reemphasize our strong cooperation and commitment to strengthen the Indonesia-Australia partnership through the signing of our joint security treaty. This agreement mirrors our will to keep working together closely in safeguarding our individual national security as well as a real contribution to the peace and stability of the Indo-Pacific." "For Indonesia, this reflects a strong commitment to the principle of good neighbours and our foreign policy that is free and active. Indonesia and Australia are fated to live side by side, and we choose to build this relationship upon the basis of trust and good will. Indonesia wants to be close friends with all parties, and we do not wish to have any enemies. Therefore we assure that this treaty will be an important pillar for cooperation and stability in our region."
