Summary / Abstract (Note) | Despite their shared historical and cultural affinities, the bilateral relationship between India and Indonesia is perhaps the least explored, researched, and developed among all the bilateral relations both countries have forged. This is particularly so in the field of defense, despite both countries being Indian Ocean littoral neighbors with only 80 nautical miles between Indonesia's westernmost province of Aceh and India's southernmost Indira Point in the Great Nicobar Island. Both countries have large Muslim populations and share common democratic values. These factors should both be ingredients and incentives to warrant closer defense cooperation. Why then do they seem embroiled in mutual neglect? 1 |
