00:00This is a watershed moment in the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
00:06I'm Bapak Prabowo Subianto to make what is a historic announcement.
00:13The Governments of Australia and Indonesia have just substantively concluded negotiations on a new bilateral treaty on our common security.
00:24Australia's relationship with Indonesia is based on friendship, trust, mutual respect and a shared commitment to peace and stability in our region.
00:37This treaty is a recognition from both our nations that the best way to secure that peace and stability is by acting together.
00:46It signals a new era in the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
00:52The treaty is predominantly based on the landmark security agreement signed by the Keating and Suharto Governments 30 years ago.
01:02It will build on the 2006 Lombok Treaty that, among other things, reaffirmed Indonesia's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
01:12It also builds on the Defence Cooperation Agreement that we signed together last year.
01:19This treaty will commit Australia and Indonesia to consult at a leader and ministerial level on a regular basis on matters of security,
01:29to identify and undertake mutually beneficial security activities,
01:35and if either or both countries' security is threatened,
01:39to consult and consider what measures may be taken, either individually or jointly, to deal with those threats.
01:46This is a watershed moment in the Australia-Indonesia relationship.
01:52This treaty represents a major extension of our existing security and defence cooperation.
02:00It shows the relationship is as strong as it has ever been.
02:05And that's a great thing for our region and for the people of both Australia and Indonesia.
02:13I hope to travel to Indonesia in January next year at the President's invitation to formally sign the new treaty
02:20after it has gone through our domestic processes.
02:24I'll now hand to the President for his remarks.
02:27Thank you, Honourable Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia,
02:37Ministers, High-ranking Officials, Senior Officers of the Australian Defence Forces, Australian Navy,
02:52Captain of the HMAS Canberra, distinguished members of the media.
03:01I would like to once again thank the government of Australia, the Prime Minister of Australia and its government for receiving me.
03:16This is my first state visit to Australia, although I've been here many times.
03:25And I'm pleased to have been received by the Governor General this morning.
03:32We had very good discussions and we, I think, concluded an important agreement, an important treaty between Australia and Indonesia.
03:55Committing ourselves to close cooperation in a defence and security field.
04:06And essentially reaffirming our determination to enhance our friendship and to, as partners, as close neighbours,
04:28our determination to maintain the best of relationship in order to enhance and guarantee the security of both our countries.
04:47I think essentially that is the purpose.
04:53I mentioned many times that we cannot choose our neighbours, especially countries like us.
05:04It is our destiny to be direct neighbours.
05:09So let us face our destiny with the best of intentions.
05:17I believe in the good neighbour policy.
05:21Good neighbours are essential.
05:24Good neighbours will help each other in times of difficulties.
05:29And in the Indonesian culture, we have a saying, when we face an emergency, it is our neighbour that will help us.
05:47Maybe our relatives will remain far away, but our neighbours are the closest and only good neighbours will help each other.
05:57I think that concludes my remarks.
05:59I better not speak too much.
06:01As politicians, you know, we tend to speak a lot in front of the media.
06:06But once again, Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, thank you very much for receiving me in such a grand manner.
06:20You know, I think your intelligence is very good.
06:27You know that I like backpipes.
06:29So I am received by backpipes.
06:33And thank you very much.
06:35Thank you, sir.
06:37Can I thank the Chief of Navy and the Captain of the HMAS Canberra and all of the naval personnel who have welcomed us here and helped to organise this visit today.
06:55Thank you.
06:56Thank you.
06:58Thank you.
07:24Terima kasih.
07:54Terima kasih.
08:24Terima kasih.
