Indonesia seeks stronger cooperation with US
Sabtu, 6 Mei 2017 00:08 WIB - 0 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesia will seek a stronger partnership with the United States during the visit of Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi to Washington DC on May 4 and 5.

The ministers visit to the United States is aimed at optimizing dialogue mechanism in several areas of cooperation between the two countries, Ministry of Foreign Affairs official website stated here on Friday.

On Thursday, Minister Marsudi met US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, during a bilateral meeting in Washington.

Both ministers discussed the strengthening of the economic cooperation mechanism that is expected to increase trade volume and investment between Indonesia and the United States.

Minister Marsudi and Tillerson have agreed to revitalize the mechanism of the Indonesia-US Trade Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA), for which a meeting will take place in June 2017.

"TIFA is not only expected to boost trade and investment growth, but also identify steps to be taken to improve the interaction of economic cooperation between the two countries," Minister Marsudi said on the ministrys website.

Minister Marsudi also discussed several global issues with Secretary Tillerson, such as tensions in the Korean Peninsula.

She underlined that an open conflict will not only disrupt security, peace and stability in the region, but also upset the economic growth and development of nations in the Asia-Pacific region.

"Indonesia is consistent, asking North Korea to obey all the UN Secretary Council Resolutions on denuclearization and to put forward dialogue process in solving problems in the Korean Peninsula," Marsudi said.

During the meeting with Tillerson, Minister Marsudi also discussed the plan and commitment of the US Government to promote the peace process between Palestine and Israel.

The two-state solution is fundamental in realizing peace between Palestine and Israel, Marsudi said.

"Indonesia will continue what the country can do to see that the Palestine state stands up equally and lives side by side with other countries in the Middle East," Minister Marsudi said.

In Washington DC, Minister Marsudi also met Vice President Mike Pence and US House Speaker Paul Ryan to hold an in-depth discussion on efforts to improve the strategic partnership between the two countries. The United States has become an important market for Indonesian products, with its exports to the country reaching US$15.68 billion in 2016.

The United States is also the fourth-largest trade partner for Indonesia, as the total value of bilateral trade reached $23.4 billion in 2016, while the United States investment in Indonesia clocked $1.16 billion spread across 540 projects.

In addition to discussing efforts to intensify strategic partnership between the two countries, Marsudi highlighted the opportunity for enhancing cooperation in promoting the values of pluralism and tolerance.

Pence, during his earlier visit to Indonesia, had expressed his admiration to the values of tolerance, diversity, and the practice of moderate Islam in Indonesia.

With regards to Pences view, Minister Marsudi said the values of pluralism and tolerance have become Indonesias soft power and the main capital in preventing radicalization and terrorism.

"The values of pluralism and tolerance are Indonesias national assets that are lauded by other nations, including the United States. We have to be proud and continue to maintain the noble values of this nation and uphold tolerance and pluralism." (*)

Indonesia's Su-35 programme faces offset hurdle
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
05 May 2017
Indonesia's Ministry of Defence (MoD) has confirmed in a statement that its plan to procure Sukhoi Su-35 'Flanker-E' multirole combat aircraft from Russia has been delayed due to "uncertainty" over issues related to technology transfers.

The MoD said that the proposed procurement was discussed by MoD officials and visiting senior representatives from Russia's military export agency Rosoboronexport on 3 May.

Quoting the officials, the MoD statement said that Indonesia's proposed procurement "has passed several stages" but that "there is one stage that has not been fully realised".

The MoD went on to explain that this key stage was a required evaluation from the MoD's procurement team, which it said is determining provisions including defence offset obligations as well as "trade and funding".

Jakarta’s Election And Indonesia’s Democracy: Ascent Of Javanese King And President Jokowi’s Leadership Style

With endless political tussles confronting him, particularly during the 2017 Jakarta Gubernatorial Election, President Joko Widodo has drawn inspiration from Javanese philosophy for his political compass when dealing with his political opponents. By Emirza Adi Syailendra

Javanese culture has permeated Indonesian politics throughout Indonesia’s short political history. Sukarno’s quest for national unity drew inspiration heavily from the Javanese figure Gadjah Mada who was determined to unite the archipelago under the control of the Majapahit Kingdom. Benedict Anderson, writing in 1998 about Sukarno’s successor, described him thus: “[W]hen speaking off the cuff, Suharto sees himself not as a modern president but as a Javanese king.”

Former President Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Sukarnoputri, and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono were also drawn to the practice of mysticism in search of inspiration before taking important political decisions. President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) is similarly influenced by Javanese political culture though in his own ways.

Jokowi’s Javanese Leadership Style
Coming from a non-aristocratic Javanese background, President Jokowi is known to utilise the Javanese calendar in ceremonial matters. An example is when he decided to announce his second cabinet reshuffle on 27 July 2016, which, when calculated using the Wetonan cycle – a system often used by Javanese to determine dates for an important event – fell on an auspicious day for a new beginning.

The philosophy of sugih tanpa bandha or being humble has become inseparable from his daily political image. His frequent impromptu visits blusukan to places such as slums and wet markets skyrocketed his popularity when approaching the 2014 presidential election as it projected the persona of a people’s man.

As the election for governor in Jakarta grew heated, various issues including mobilisation of voters on religious and ethnic grounds were used to undermine the incumbent. When dealing with such forces, Jokowi resorted to the use of proxy. This can be associated with nglurug tanpa bala which can be interpreted as the use of the soft approach, which also implies not getting your hands dirty.

To neutralise the agitated Muslim community, Jokowi visited 17 Islamic organisations including Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah. This resulted in a more restraint posture from NU after the NU chairman Kyai Said Aqil Siradj, declared that NU followers should not be participating in rallies. Jokowi also mobilised the security apparatus to neutralise any anarchist movement.

Dealing with Rivals
Jokowi also struck a bargain with his rival Prabowo Subianto, patron of the Great Indonesia Movement Party (Gerindra), to handle the opposition. This move was seen as an attempt to alienate another challenger, former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

Another of Jokowi’s ways in dealing with Yudhoyono was through Antasari Azhar, a former chairman of Corruption Eradication Commission, who had publicly claimed that he was made a scapegoat in the high-profile murder case in 2010 during the administration of Yudhoyono.

Antasari previously asked for clemency after Jokowi became president on 20 February 2015, but this was rejected. His request was finally granted just before the Jakarta election a year later on 16 January 2017, which raised questions about Jokowi’s political motive. A series of statements by Antasari about Yudhoyono, after the former president’s meeting with Jokowi at the Presidential Palace on 26 January, contributed to the weakening of the appeal of Yudhoyono’s son during the first round of the governor election.

Keeping the Aura Alive
Another interesting decision made by Jokowi was when he abruptly decided to join the 2 December 2016 rally to pray alongside the protesters to show that he was digdaya tanpa aji or strong without being forceful. For him it was important to be at the high-risk event to show that he was in charge. Public confidence in him had been weakened after he was nowhere to be seen during the earlier rally on 14 November.

Preservation of image during volatile political situations is important in the Javanese concept of power. It is pivotal in preserving the belief that the king still enjoys the “divine light” as a symbol of authority. As explained by Anderson, “once the people believed the [Javanese] king’s divine light had moved on, it will be difficult to restore”. Jokowi reportedly pushed aside many important meetings to take the spotlight at the rally.

Accommodating after Winning
After the first round of the Jakarta election, Jokowi hosted Yudhoyono on 9 March at the Palace as a sign of reconciliation. This showed that although Jokowi was on the winning side, he was ready to accommodate the losing side as understood in the phrase menang tanpa ngasorake.

His meeting with Yudhoyono was intended to cool the rift between the two leaders who had been engaged in a public feud in the run-up to the Jakarta election. As the two adversaries reconciled, Yudhoyono took a more neutral approach towards Jokowi and did not directly declare support for Anies Baswedan from Prabowo’s camp after his son, Agus, was defeated.

This also illustrated Jokowi’s political tact in preserving his presidency, by showcasing his ability in engaging in political transactions, and working with fellow rivals against other rivals.

Chief minister to handle movements that threaten national security: President
12 hours ago | 531 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The coordinating minister for political, legal, and security affairs will handle movements that have the potential to trigger law and order problems, according to President Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"The coordinating minister for political, legal, and security affairs will handle them if there are movements that can potentially disrupt security," President Jokowi informed reporters after opening the National Working Congress I of the Nahdliyin Business Makers Association at Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, on Friday.

The president said Indonesia is a democratic country, so everyone is free to voice their opinions.

"Please express (your) opinions; please stage demonstrations for those who want to, but there are rules that must be followed," President Jokowi remarked.

The president elaborated that the rules comprised the permission to stage a demonstration as long as it does not disturb others and the action does not affect the law and order situation in the city or country.

"If it is already causing disturbance, well it is something what I think will be handled by the coordinating minister for politics and security," he explained.

However, the president urged that the nations energy should not be spent for engaging in unproductive activities and affairs.

"Will we continue to repeat this? No, I say no," President Jokowi, who was wearing a batik shirt and a black cap, stated.

When questioned whether it is possible to view it from a legal perspective, President Jokowi said the coordinating minister for political, legal, and security affairs will make the necessary assessments regarding it.

"Yes, it will later be calculated by the coordinating minister. Its legal umbrella will be evaluated," he said.

Meanwhile, in connection with the outcome of his meeting with the leaders of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Jokowi stated that the government fully supported the KPKs steps to make Indonesia a country that is free of corruption.

"We give full support to it. I think it is clear, no doubts and questions about it," he affirmed.

Jokowi said the meeting did not discuss the House of Representatives (DPRs) decision to exercise its right to launch an inquiry on the KPK in connection with the electronic-ID card corruption case.

"It comes under the DPRs zone of affairs and its right to conduct an inquiry," Jokowi clarified.(*)
