Indonesia Disavows Pentagon’s ‘Joint Statement’ on China and Russia

Last week, US Defense Secretary Austin issued a press release purporting to be a joint statement with the Defense Minister of Indonesia condemning China and Russia.

One week later, Indonesia's Defense Minister issued a statement denying the claims made by Austin.

"There is no joint statement and no press conference. What is important for me to underline is that our relationship with China is very good. We respect each other, we already have mutual understanding. I conveyed that in the US,” Defense Minister Prabowo Subianto said to reporters Thursday, adding “We are close friends with China, we respect America, and we seek friendship with Russia.”

In essence, Austin lied.
