South Korean President Lee Jae Myung held talks on Wednesday with Indonesian leader Prabowo Subianto, discussing energy security and agreeing to expand cooperation in areas such as defence, Lee's office said.

The summit talks followed a welcome ceremony at the presidential Blue House in Seoul.

"We view Indonesia's stable role in supplying key energy resources such as LNG and coal as very reassuring," Lee said in a statement, calling for closer cooperation on energy supply and resource security amid the global uncertainty triggered by the conflict in the Middle East.

In a joint statement, South Korea and Indonesia pledged to accelerate the launch of high-level energy security dialogue and public-private cooperation channels, emphasising the need to keep global energy supply chains stable and minimise disruptions to the flow of energy and essential goods.
