Australia and Indonesia
Australia scores 78/100 toward Indonesia (friendliness, support), while Indonesia scores 72/100 back.
Australia toward Indonesia
Australia hosted a landmark 2+2 Foreign and Defence Ministers' Meeting with Indonesia, with coverage citing the Jakarta Treaty deepening cooperation and a first-ever Australia-Japan-Indonesia trilateral defence chiefs meeting, all pointing to strong, active diplomatic and security engagement.
Indonesia toward Australia
Indonesia participated in the 2+2 meeting and trilateral defence talks, and is described as building on the Jakarta Treaty with Australia, though Indonesia's broader 'inviting everyone' hedging posture and uninvited mediator framing suggest somewhat more arm's-length engagement than Australia's toward Indonesia.
