Abstract

Singapore’s national interest in pushing for the realization of the Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with Indonesia, which was re-signed in 2022. Using a qualitative approach grounded in the theories of neorealism, international cooperation, and foreign policy, the research highlights DCA as a strategic tool for Singapore to overcome its limited military training space and strengthen maritime security, particularly in the Malacca Strait. The agreement includes joint exercises, defense technology exchange, and cooperation on non-traditional security threats such as terrorism and transnational crime. For Indonesia, the DCA enhances military capacity and regional diplomatic standing. Although previously delayed due to sovereignty concerns, the agreement was eventually ratified through strategic compromise. This defense partnership reflects the shared commitment of both countries to uphold Southeast Asian regional stability through mutual and constructive collaboration.
