Australia and Indonesia are close neighbours, strategic partners and friends. The Joint Declaration on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Australia and the Republic of Indonesia has elevated our bilateral relationship and sets an ambitious agenda for deeper and broader cooperation across all facets of our partnership. We are committed to working together to build a prosperous and stable Indo-Pacific region.
The overarching goal for the Australia-Indonesia development partnership is to promote Indonesia’s prosperity, stability and resilience, and strong links between our two countries. Following the launch of New International Development Policy in August 2023, Australia released the Australia – Indonesia Development Partnership Plan 2024-2028 (DPP) in August 2024.
We have a long history of working together, and our development partnership is evolving to keep pace with Indonesia’s rapid development and policy ambition. We are responsive, flexible, and able to seize opportunities for collaboration in areas of mutual interest, including building stronger and deeper institutional linkages and advancing gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI).
We work together on shared development priorities in line with Indonesia’s National Long-Term Development Plan 2025-2045 and in line with commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals. The DPP translates into action these shared development priorities in supporting equitable economic transformation, climate-resilient communities and strong institutions. Across our work we are focusing on climate change, GEDSI, and locally-led development.
