External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday held ''productive'' talks with his Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi with a focus on bilateral cooperation in several key areas including defense and security, trade, and connectivity.

The talks were held under the framework of the India-Indonesia Joint Commission.

After the talks, Jaishankar said the two sides reviewed the entire gamut of ties under the India-Indonesia comprehensive strategic partnership.

''Just concluded a productive 7th India-Indonesia Joint Commission Meeting with FM Retno Marsudi,'' Jaishankar said on Twitter.

''Reviewed entire gamut of our ties in our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with focus on political, defense & security, economic and trade, S&T and space, connectivity and p2p ties,'' he said.
