The bilateral relations between
Indonesia and Australia have
remained healthy amid the issue of
an individual from the Australian
military allegedly insulting the
country's national ideology of
Pancasila, President Joko Widodo
stated. "I had urged the Military
commander and defense minister
to address the issue. Meanwhile, I
think our relations with Australia
have remained good," Widodo
noted here on Thursday.
The president emphasized that the
militaries of both countries should
present a clarification on the
incident in order to maintain
mutually beneficial bilateral ties.
On the occasion, the head of state
also confirmed that he had been
informed about the discontinuation
of military cooperation between the
two nations. "Indonesia and
Australia have made a deal to
respect and not interfere in each
other's national affairs," Widodo
affirmed.
Meanwhile, Indonesian Military
(TNI) Commander Gen. Gatot
Nurmantyo remarked that Chief of
the Australian Defence Force (ADF)
Air Chief Marshal Mark Donald
Binskin AC had sent him a letter of
apology. In his letter, Binskin
pledged to run an investigation
over the contempt case.
In his reply, Nurmantyo praised
Binskin and sought to hold further
discussions after the Australian
military had received the result of
the investigation. Earlier, the TNI
had decided to stop all forms of
military cooperation with the ADF
in light of the contempt case.
In its argument, the TNI revealed
that there were technical issues
that had to be tackled and resolved
in order to improve the working
relationship between the two
forces. After the review process
was completed, the TNI would
consider continuing its military
cooperation with Australia.
