ASELSAN Turkey sells phones to Indonesia: a Strategic Industries Cooperation in D-8 Countries
Jakarta, Indonesia | October 10, 2007 by
The Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) have chosen wireless phones made in Turkey for use by their 400,000-strong army, one of the largest armed forces on the Asian continent, reported by Today’s Zaman of Turkey earlier this month.
ASELSAN, an affiliated company of the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation (TSKGV), will provide the Indonesian army with the phones, which provide secure internal communications. A written statement by ASELSAN reports that the deal between it and TNI is particularly important since this is the first defense industry export deal from Turkey to Indonesia. ASELSAN’s wireless phones combine six different frequency bands on a single device. This makes it possible for armies to use only one wireless phone for any kind of communications need.
D-8 Secretary General, Dr. Dipo Alam believes this as an essential lead to explore deeper cooperation between D-8 countries in strategic industries such as those of defence industry. Alam underlined this news as an inspiring development, that goes in accordance with the substance of the meeting held in March this year with Undersecretary of SSM (Turkish Defence Industry), Murad Bayar. “We believe that there are a lot of cooperation scopes that we can explore among our strategic industries. In near future, for example, we hopefully can see this kind of collaboration in airplane or vessel industries,” said Secretary General.
