Coordinating Maritime Affairs Minister Indroyono Susilo said that during the APEC Summit in Beijing and the G-20 Summit in Australia last year, the leaders of Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the Netherlands and the US, said they were ready to cooperate with Indonesia in the fields of fisheries and maritime resource development as well as maritime infrastructure development and capacity building.
Indroyono told a Foreign Ministry working group that they aimed to focus on sea border limits, Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf limits between Indonesia and its 10 neighbouring countries.
“We will immediately dispatch 12 research and survey vessels to collect hydro-oceanography data and sea biology and geology data that will be used in the negotiation of Indonesia’s sea border limits,” Indroyono said.
