Pakistan is one of the countries in the world that until now has experienced various threats that have an impact on their sovereignty and national security, where the development of conflict in the South Asia region is one of the prominent forms of threat to them. In this condition, Pakistan needs to increase its defense capacity to defend their sovereignty from existing threats, where defense cooperation is one of their efforts to increase their military strength. Indonesia is one of the countries chosen by Pakistan to establish defense cooperation with them, which is based on the closeness of the two countries since the beginning of independence which has continued to grow marked by the signing of the Defense Cooperation Agreement in 2010. Since then, Pakistan has continued to increase the intensity of defense cooperation with Indonesia.

First, increasing its military capacity to ensure national security in the region.
