Abstract


Indonesia-South Korea cooperation in various fields, including economy, technology, culture, and defense, is an example of effective bilateral relations in Asia. This relationship contributes to increased trade and investment volumes, supports the development of cutting-edge technologies, and strengthens social ties through cultural exchanges. In defense, the two countries have established a strategic partnership, including collaboration in defense equipment development and joint military training, which plays an important role in maintaining regional security stability. This study aims to analyze the influence of the bilateral relationship on regional stability, economic growth, and security of both countries. Using a literature review-based qualitative analysis method, this research shows that this bilateral relationship is instrumental in building a strong foundation for sustainable regional cooperation. The results also highlight that collaboration in various sectors, including defense, has a significant positive impact, making this relationship a model of cooperation that can be adapted by other countries in the Asia Pacific region.
