During a summit with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto, who is on a state visit to Korea, President Lee Jae-myung agreed to cooperate on the mass production of the IF-21, the Indonesian variant of the Korean supersonic fighter jet KF-21. The two countries have decided to elevate their relationship to that of “Special Comprehensive Strategic Partners.”

During the Korea-Indonesia summit held at the Blue House on the 1st, President Lee and President Prabowo expressed satisfaction that the joint development of the KF-21 and IF-21 fighter jets, which has been ongoing for over 10 years, is scheduled to be completed this coming June, and agreed to cooperate on the mass production of the IF-21. In addition, they agreed to explore cooperation on other defense projects, such as training aircraft, anti-tank guided missiles, and ammunition.

Indonesia has participated in the KF-21 development project since 2016, but the process has been fraught with difficulties, including a reduction of over 1 trillion won in its initially promised contribution of 1.7 trillion won and the emergence of allegations regarding technology leakage by Indonesian technical personnel. However, at present, Indonesia is considered a major customer with a high probability of acquiring the IF-21. In this regard, President Lee remarked during the expanded meeting, “(Indonesia) is a valuable partner for the K-defense industry today.” President Prabowo responded, “Even within a family, various misunderstandings can arise. However, what is important is that Korea and Indonesia share common interests.”
