Why Indonesia?
The standing assessment behind the public sentiment reading of 85, rewritten at each refresh.
India-Indonesia relations continue to exhibit exceptional warmth at diplomatic and official levels, heavily reinforced by the outcomes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to Indonesia from July 6-8, 2026, which falls within the last 30 days. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto's statements during the visit, such as referring to India and Indonesia as 'two of the largest democracies in the world' and highlighting partnerships that 'will bring benefits to the region,' underscore a robust and forward-looking bilateral relationship. The conferment of Indonesia's highest civilian honor, the 'Bintang Adipurna of the Republic of Indonesia,' on PM Modi, coupled with his address to the Indonesian Parliament and the signing of numerous agreements (spanning defense, critical minerals, digital infrastructure, space research, agriculture, health, and education) vividly demonstrate a 'new era' of 'civilizational synergy' and a 'golden chapter' in their ties. Significantly, Indonesia’s affirmation of support for India's BRICS Chairship in 2026 and India's reciprocal commitment for Indonesia's role as a BRICS member further solidify this strategic alignment. The landmark defense deals, including Indonesia becoming the first foreign customer for India's Astra beyond-visual-range air-to-air missiles and the agreement for BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, are strong indicators of deep mutual trust and a shared vision of being 'trusted friends'.
