PM Suga is the first foreign leader to visit Indonesia since the COVID-19 pandemic\u2014Indonesia has the highest number of coronavirus cases in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Observers note that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/asia\/east-asia\/indonesia-japan-agree-to-boost-security-ties\">key priority of the trip<\/a> was to cement ASEAN\u2019s support for Japan\u2019s Indo-Pacific vision, which Suga stated was closely aligned with the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific\u2014a product that Indonesia was a key driver of.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesia and Japan agreed to expedite discussions on the export of Japanese defence gear and technology to Indonesia, and signalled a commitment to convene 2+2 talks in the future. Seeking out stronger ties can be understood within the context of intensifying confrontation between Washington and Beijing\u2014but perhaps more so for Tokyo than Jakarta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>News also broke this week that earlier in the year Indonesia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/news\/asia\/indonesia-united-states-host-spy-planes-china-13320186\">rejected a proposal by the US<\/a> to allow its P-8 Poseidon maritime surveillance planes to land and refuel on Indonesian territory. A decision that many are suggesting is evidence of Indonesia not wanting to take sides in US-China confrontation. Indonesia\u2019s Defence Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspistrategist.org.au\/us-visit-shows-prabowo-looking-after-indonesias-strategic-interests\/\">Prabowo was in the US<\/a> (15-19 October) for talks with US Defense Secretary Mark Esper\u2014where China was most certainly a topic on the agenda. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan is set to provide a USD470 million <a href=\"https:\/\/asia.nikkei.com\/Politics\/International-relations\/Japan-and-Indonesia-to-hold-2-2-talks-as-security-concerns-mount\">loan to aid Indonesia\u2019s COVID-19<\/a> response. Both countries also agreed to resume mutual business travel in the near future to help their COVID-hit economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vietnam and Japan confirm defence deal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to visiting Indonesia, PM Suga was in Vietnam meeting with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc&nbsp;securing an in principle agreement to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2020\/10\/19\/japan-to-export-defense-tech-to-vietnam-under-new-agreement\/\">Japan to export defence equipment and technology to Vietnam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/vietnam\/japan-arms-scs-10192020175622.html\">defence deal will be significant<\/a> because to date Japanese security assistance has only been to civilian agencies, like the Vietnamese coastguard, not the military. Japan only recently completed its first-ever foreign military sale of defence equipment and that was to the Philippines (a South China Sea claimant) in late-August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a joint media appearance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-japan-southeastasia-vietnam-defence-idUSKBN2740C0\">PM Phuc stated<\/a> that the two leaders also agreed on the importance of maintaining peace, security, freedom of navigation and overflight in the South China Sea and the peaceful settlement of disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Devastating floods a double disaster for Mekong region<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consecutive tropical storms and torrential rain (on top of seasonal rains) are causing extreme flooding and landslides in\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rfa.org\/english\/news\/vietnam\/toll-10202020175620.html\" target=\"_blank\">Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos<\/a>\u2014affecting more than 5 million people.

With roads and critical infrastructure cut-off people are relying on emergency relief. An incoming weather system later this week is expected to worsen conditions. Communities are on standby for the Mekong River water levels to rise even further in the coming days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thai authorities censor protests<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With protests calling for the Prime Minister to resign showing no signs of stopping across Thailand, authorities are moving to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2020-10-20\/thai-protests-enter-sixth-day-as-authorities-censor-coverage\/12784958\">censor news coverage<\/a> and attempting to block a popular messaging app used by protestors.
