Defense chiefs of S. Korea, Indonesia say KF-X project symbolizes bilateral trust​

SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- Defense Minister Suh Wook and his Indonesian counterpart Prabowo Subianto agreed Thursday that a joint fighter jet development project symbolizes trust between the two countries, the ministry said.

Their meeting took place in Seoul as Prabowo visited South Korea to attend an upcoming rollout ceremony for a prototype of the country's first homegrown fighter, dubbed KF-X. Indonesia is a partner for the 8.8 trillion-won (US$7.9 billion) project, called IF-X in the country.

During the talks, the two ministers agreed to work together to ensure brisk defense industry cooperation will continue as cooperation, such as the KF-X/IF-X joint development project, "symbolizes firm trust between the two countries," the ministry said in a release.

Boramae/elang muda doesn't sounds right in indonesia though :ROFLMAO: ..... , should just use "Rajawali" instead.

but i choose rather a non bird of prey name like "Sikatan" / Nightingale

Defense chiefs of S. Korea, Indonesia affirm fighter deal cooperation

The South Korean and Indonesian defense chiefs said that their deal to build fighter jets together represents a relationship based on trust, and that they should build on the legacy to expand exchanges, at a face-to-face meeting in Seoul on Thursday.

The KF-X program, in which Indonesia seeks a 20 percent share and technology know-how while Korea holds the rest, is set to reveal its prototype jet on Friday -- but Indonesia has so far paid just $22 million, about 13 percent of what it owes. Economic difficulties are reportedly among the reasons.

Indonesian Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto is expected to join his counterpart, Minister Suh Wook, at the unveiling ceremony to take place here.

The two said they will make what they call a “special, strategic partnership” stronger as they work together on military technologies and seek cooperation on regional security. A senior-level talk involving key defense and foreign officials from both countries will open soon, they added.

Later in the day, Prabowo met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who reaffirmed the unique relationship between Korea and Indonesia, which is the only country in Asia with which Seoul maintains a strategic partnership.

“The joint work to build fighter jets demonstrates the highest levels of trust between the two governments, and we met today to follow through on that commitment,” Moon said. Prabowo responded to Moon with the promise that he would help forge stronger ties.
