Indonesia, Malaysia to discuss territorial tensions
JAKARTA (AFX) - Indonesia and Malaysia are due to hold talks to
resolve a territorial dispute that has seen warships and fighter jets
deployed to oil-rich waters off the coast of Borneo, Agence
France-Presse reported.
Tensions are easing ahead of the meeting here involving the foreign
ministers of both countries, with Indonesia withdrawing five of its
seven warships, despite a series of angry anti-Malaysian protests.
Claims by both countries are claiming the disputed area of the
Sulawesi sea, near the land border between Indonesia's East Kalimantan
province and Malaysia's Sabah state were recently unbalanced by Kuala
Lumpur's granting of oil exploration rights.
Warships from both countries have come into close contact in the area
several times since Feb 16, when energy giant Shell was given a
concession in the area by Malaysia's state oil company Petronas.
Protestors, riled by Malaysia's expulsion of Indonesian migrant
workers, have also gathered in major cities, volunteering to fight and
demanding that the country mobilizes to "crush Malaysia".
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who toured islands near
the disputed area off the eastern coast of Borneo island yesterday,
has played down the incident, saying it will not affect cordial ties
with Kuala Lumpur.
"I think we are in a friendly, neighborly situation and not in a
confrontative atmosphere, not in a condition of enmity against
Malaysia," he said.
Malaysian Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said yesterday that
Malaysia will also seek to avoid a clash with Indonesia but stresses
it will not compromise on its territorial interest and sovereignty.
Syed Hamid also accused the Indonesian media of trying to blow the
issue out of proportion, while observers said Jakarta is using the
issue to detract from problems at home, including an unpopular fuel
price hike.
The Malaysian foreign minister is due to told talks in Jakarta later
today with his Indonesian counterpart Hassan Wirayuda to discuss the
the problem.
Malaysia and Indonesia previously disputed the ownership of two small
islands in the same area, but in Dec 2002, the International Court of
Justice ruled that the islands belong to Malaysia.
