During his two-day official visit, Prime Minister Modi held summit talks with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto. The two leaders agreed to enhance cooperation in several key sectors, including trade, defence, maritime security, artificial intelligence (AI), digital payments, education, and critical minerals.
During the meeting, important steps were taken to strengthen defence cooperation between the two countries. An agreement was also reached regarding India's supply of the BrahMos supersonic missile and other defence systems to Indonesia, a move expected to further reinforce the strategic partnership between the two nations in the Indo-Pacific region.

He described the visit as the beginning of a "golden chapter" in bilateral ties.
