- MoU on Cooperation in Disaster Management;
- MoU on Cooperation in Mineral and Technology for Steel Supply Chain;

- MoU on Counterterrorism Cooperation.
The seven MoUs serve as a concrete foundation for Indonesia–India cooperation to promote comprehensive strategic partnerships, inclusive economic growth, and national and regional resilience.
Several agreements were also signed during the bilateral meeting, including:
- Implementation Agreement (IA) on Dialogue between Coast Guard as an Extension of MoU on Maritime Safety and Security Cooperation;
- Letter of Intent (LoI) on Official Statistics, Capacity Building, and Strategic Collaboration;
- Implementation Agreement (IA) on Healthcare Workers’ Professional Development Collaboration as a derivation of the MoU between Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Republic of India;
- Agreement on Cooperation for Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy; and
- Letter of Intent (LoI) on Conservation and Restoration of Prambanan Temple Compounds, Indonesia.
The Letter of Intent (LoI) on Conservation and Restoration of Prambanan Temple Compounds, Indonesia, will be implemented through a site visit slated for Wednesday (07/08), which serves as the first stage of the restoration plan for the world heritage site.
The temple restoration project is set to be conducted directly by the official archaeological institute of the Indian Government, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), the same institution that carried out a major restoration of the world’s largest religious complex Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
This collaboration seeks to bring Prambanan Temple back to its former glory, adhering to the world’s top conservation standards. (LYS) (DH/AW)
