"The agreements signed today, are not just (about) government-to-government cooperation in various strategic sectors such as in the field of defense," Subianto said, adding that they also sought to step up cooperation between businesses.

He said the ties between the two countries provide "concrete deliverables, for the benefit and prosperity of the people of both Indonesia and Türkiye."

Hoping for the accords to be "swiftly implemented," the Indonesian defense chief said they would "inspire and motivate" other deals, especially for free trade.

For his part, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu vowed to eradicate terror both within his country and in its region.

Cavusoglu hailed ties between the two countries, saying there had been "great progress in our ties in recent years."

"We will soon witness a historic moment in our relations as our presidents will establish the High-Level Strategic Cooperation Council," he added.

After affirming that the deals would further strengthen relations in many fields including defense industry, research, forestry, environment, and development, Cavusoglu congratulated Indonesia for its successful G20 chairmanship.

"As two major powers in the Islamic world, our cooperation is vital for all Muslims worldwide," Cavusoglu added.
