Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will travel to Jakarta, Indonesia from 5 to 7 February 2026 to meet the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, and sign the Australia-Indonesia Treaty on Common Security.
The treaty reflects the close friendship, partnership and deep trust between Australia and Indonesia. It will take Australia-Indonesia cooperation to a new level, for the benefit of our shared security and that of the region.
The Prime Minister will be joined by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator the Hon Penny Wong, who will meet with Indonesian Foreign Minister His Excellency Sugiono during the visit.
Alongside regional security, Australia and Indonesia work together closely across a range of areas including trade and investment, education, and development.
Indonesia's strong economic growth represents an enormous opportunity for Australian businesses and investors, which we are working to realise including through Invested: Australia's Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040.
There is a great demand amongst Indonesian consumers for Australian education, healthcare and consumer goods. At the same time, Indonesian investment into Australia has increased. This is good for Australian jobs, businesses and our economy.
This will be the Prime Minister's fifth official visit to Indonesia. Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles will be Acting Prime Minister until the Prime Minister's return from overseas.
