The Commissioner of the Korea Coast Guard held the '2nd Korea-Indonesia Maritime Security Agency Chiefs Regular Meeting' with Aan Kurnia, Commander of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency, and announced on the 3rd that they discussed maritime security and cooperation between the two countries.

At the meeting, the heads of both agencies agreed to resume and continuously develop various exchange and cooperation projects, including an invitation training program to strengthen maritime rescue capabilities and joint underwater search training.

They also discussed joint exercises for Indo-Pacific strategic cooperation, the establishment of a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) platform, information sharing, and agreed to cooperate mutually for the common goal of safety and peace in the Indo-Pacific region.

A Korea Coast Guard official stated, "Through this meeting, we expect to develop the relationship between the two agencies in a future-oriented manner and build a close cooperative relationship to enhance crisis response capabilities for maritime security and safety of both countries."

Meanwhile, since signing the maritime security Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2018, the two agencies have continuously held bilateral meetings and training sessions, but these were suspended due to COVID-19, and this time, face-to-face meetings resumed after four years.
