Brig. Gen. David Neo emphasized that the SAF, particularly the Singapore Army, had high hopes for Indonesia, in implementing the Indonesia-Singapore DCA. DCA will be the future of bilateral cooperation in the two countries’ defense sectors, with implementation remaining securely valid for the next 25 years.
Singapore’s geographical proximity to Indonesia, as the largest country in Southeast Asia, in reality makes Singapore dependent on Indonesia, in responding to any developments in the regional strategic environment. Thus, it is pivotal in the development of bilateral partnerships between the two countries. (eka)
