KEY POINTS

·        The Hindu, Buddhist and later Muslim faith travelled to Indonesia from the shores of India. The Indonesian folk art and dramas are based on stories from the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

·        During the respective struggles for independence, the national leaderships of India and Indonesia led by Jawaharlal Nehru and President Sukarno collaborated closely in supporting the cause of independence and  laid the foundation of the Non-Aligned Movement at the Asian-African Conference held in Bandung in 1955.

·        Since the adoption of India’s ‘Look East Policy’ in 1991, there has been a rapid development of bilateral relations in political, security, defence, commercial and cultural fields.

·        The current Government wants to further deepen the relationship with East Asia and has therefore rightly titled its policy as “Act East”.

·        India in Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) Leaders’ Summit held in Jakarta from on March 2017, sharing the vision of peaceful region and sea and India’s willingness to set up an IORA Centre of Excellence for strengthening Maritime Domain Awareness with coordination from Indonesia (CORPAT exercise with Indonesia)

·        Indonesia has emerged as the largest trading partner of India in the ASEAN region. Bilateral trade has increased from US$ 4.3 billion in 2005-06 to US$ 17 billion in 2016-17. India is the second largest buyer of coal and crude palm oil from Indonesia.This makes very stronger trade relations with Indonesia.

·        Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) offers 20 scholarships every year to Indonesian students for pursuing higher studies in India.
