Australia-Indonesia Partnership

Through the Australia Indonesia Partnership and AusAID, the governments of both Australia and Indonesia are constantly working together addressing issues of mutual concern. By working together as partners, the two governments are achieving great success and providing a wide range of benefits for people of both countries.

During the last few months of 2008, this partnership and atmosphere of cooperation has led to many wonderful activities.
