In this episode of the Australian Naval Institute’s Saltwater Strategists, ANI Councillor Duncan MacRae is joined by Dr Collin Koh Swee Lean, senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, to discuss what the future of Indonesian maritime and naval capability might look like under the forthcoming presidency of Prabowo Subianto.

Drawing on insights from Prabowo’s tenure as Indonesian Defence Minister, Duncan and Collin explore what President Subianto’s impact will likely be on the progression of a significant modernisation program for the TNI-AL, the development of Indonesia’s defence industry, the disposition and strategic focus of Indonesian maritime forces, and attitudes towards China, the US, Australia and other regional nations.
