 PRESIDENT REAFFIRMS ATTITUDE TOWARDS MALAYSIA

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono reaffirmed his attitude towards Malaysia when he delivered an official address at the Indonesian Defense Forces (TNI) headquarters in Cilangkap here on Wednesday.

The president expressed his attitude with regard to the heightening of tension in the relations between the two countries over the recent arrest by Malaysian police of three Indonesian maritime patrol officers in the Indonesian waters.

Yudhoyono said that even though the relations between Indonesia and Malaysia were very important, yet it did not mean that the government ignored national interest, let alone if it concerned sovereignty.

"Such an incident should not happen again and it should be prevented by way of dialogs and increased coordination between the two nations while we continue to maintain the good relationship," the head of state said.

He said that Indonesia was willing to accelerate negotiations between the two countries over their border issues.

"Negotiations should cover land and maritime borders," he said.

The president was convinced that with good intention, accelerated and effective negotiations were correct steps to prevent the recurrence of border violations.

In this way, he said, the good relations between the two countries would not be disrupted again.
