On November 17, 2025, Japan and Indonesia held their third Foreign and Defense Ministers' Meeting (2-plus-2) at the Iikura Official Residence in Tokyo. The meeting focused on addressing security concerns related to China's ongoing intimidating actions in the East and South China Seas. Both countries emphasized the importance of adherence to international law and agreed to expand cooperation in maritime security.

The ministers also committed to coordinating efforts to promote the "free and open Indo-Pacific," a key element of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's diplomatic policy. Japan confirmed continued support through its Government Security Capacity Enhancement Support (OSA), which involves providing defense equipment and materiel to allied militaries. The two sides agreed to foster closer exchanges between their defense authorities to strengthen bilateral security cooperation.
