Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Wednesday after talks with Indonesian President Joko Widodo that the Japanese defense forces will participate for the first time in military exercises in Indonesia next month alongside the US and Australia.

The meeting between the two leaders came a day after the Indonesian President visited China for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in which the two pledged to increase trade and expand cooperation in different fields.

After the meeting, Kishida told a news conference that "Indonesia shares fundamental values with us as well as strategic goals, it is a strategic partner."

The Japanese Prime Minister confirmed that Japan's Self-Defence Forces will take part for the first time in the "Garuda Shield" joint military exercises with the US, Australia, and other countries.

In early June, the Japanese Joint Chiefs of Staff affirmed that the Japanese forces and the US military intend to continue cooperation in order to ensure the protection of Japan and peace and stability in the region.
