“PM Morrison’s Visit: A New Era for Indonesia-Australia Relations?” by Siwage Dharma Negara and Leo Suryadinata

 

2018/86, 4 September 2018

The newly elected Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison visited Indonesia from August 31 to September 2. It is his first foreign trip a week after his inauguration.  The visit indicates Australia’s foreign policy priority to improving bilateral relations with Indonesia.

Traditionally, new Australian leaders have always visited Jakarta as part of their first overseas visit. This latest visit seems to continue this tradition and serves as a signal that PM Morrison would further build cordial relations with Indonesia, which has been orchestrated by his predecessor, PM Malcolm Turnbull.
