It marks a significant milestone in the longstanding partnership between France and Indonesia and reaffirms the shared ambition to strengthen Indonesia’s naval capabilities, strategic autonomy and sovereign defense industry.

Pierre Eric Pommellet, Chairman & CEO, said: “This letter of intent is a testimony to the deep trust placed in the long-standing cooperation between Naval Group, PT PAL, and the Indonesian Navy. Naval Group is honored to support Indonesia in its ambition to build a modern, sovereign, and resilient Indonesian naval industry”.
