JAKARTA, May 4 (Reuters) - Indonesia and Japan signed a defence cooperation agreement on Monday, officials said, ‌which includes cooperation in the defence industry, ‌human development and disaster mitigation measures.

Here are some details about the ​agreement:

• Indonesian Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin signed the agreement with his Japanese counterpart Shinjiro Koizumi in Jakarta.

• "We have both agreed to promote substantive cooperation in the defence industry ‌and development of ⁠our personnel, whilst taking into account our respective national interests," Sjafrie said before the ⁠signing ceremony, in an audio recording shared by the Indonesian Defence Ministry.

• Koizumi called the agreement a "compass" and "crucial ​milestone" that ​will guide defence cooperation ​between the two countries.

• ‌The ministers did not elaborate on exact areas of cooperation.

• Japan scrapped a ban on overseas arms sales last month as the country seeks to strengthen its defence industry.

• The ministers also held a bilateral meeting ‌where they discussed collaboration on ​maritime security, joint military exercises, ​and military hardware and ​defence technology, Koizumi said.

• "Amid an increasingly ‌complex and tense international situation, ​such as in ​Iran, deepening defence cooperation between Japan and Indonesia... will make a significant contribution to peace and ​stability, not only ‌for both countries but also for the region," ​Koizumi said through a translator.
