India and Indonesia today signed two agreements in the field of cultural exchange and renewable energy. Vice-President Hamid Ansari, who arrived in Jakarta on the first leg of his two nation tour, said, Indonesia is a maritime neighbour and also the biggest ASEAN country, which fits into the India's Look East and Act East policy.<br/><br/>India also exchanged notes with Indonesia to complete formalities for a pending extradition pact, as the government stepped up efforts to bring back underworld don Chhota Rajan from this country.<br/><br/>There has been much interest in India about the status of its extradition pact with Indonesia after Rajan was arrested in Bali when he arrived from Australia last Sunday on an Indian passport. Mr. Ansari will be meeting Indonesian President Joko Widodo and Vice-President Jusuf Kalla today.
