Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi met United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Jakarta and reaffirmed ties between their two countries.

Retno also discussed Indonesia's own Indo-Pacific concept with Pompeo, reiterating its key principles of inclusivity, openness, prioritising cooperation, a habit of dialogue, respect for international law, and Asean centrality.

The meeting at the Foreign Ministry came after a busy few days for both officials, who met their other Asean counterparts in Singapore this week, with shifts in the world order and global trade tensions high on the minds of many.

Pompeo arrived in Jakarta from Singapore on Saturday after attending the East Asia Summit ministerial meeting and the Asean Regional Forum.

On Friday,  Pompeo pushed to reassure his counterparts that Asean was central to Washington's Indo-Pacific strategy, which thus far has had a lukewarm reception from members of the regional bloc.

Indonesia and the US have had a strategic partnership since 2015, but they have enjoyed strong ties and will mark 70 years of diplomatic relations next year.

The US is the fourth largest trade partner for Indonesia and its sixth largest investment partner.

Indonesia last month sent a trade delegation to US to lobby Washington to maintain its trade ties amid an escalating global trade war.
