TNI says no need for aircraft carrier
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | National | Wed, May 21 2014, 6:28 AM
Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko said the country had no intention of procuring an aircraft carrier to strengthen its primary defense system.
“An aircraft carrier is inappropriate for the Indonesian Military’s doctrine,” Moeldoko said as quoted by tempo.co on Monday.
He added that an aircraft carrier was unnecessary as the country had thousands of islands, from Aceh to Papua, that could accommodate the Air Force’s aircraft.
Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio explained that the Navy would act in accordance with Indonesia’s Green Water doctrine, which stipulates that its naval forces should not enter international waters. “Only countries with a Blue Water doctrine need aircraft carriers,” Marsetio said.
He said countries with a Blue Water doctrine tended to be aggressors that threatened other countries, adding that Indonesia was a peaceful country that considered its territorial sovereignty of paramount importance.
Rising tensions in Southeast Asian waters have underlined Indonesia’s Green Water policy, with Moeldoko explaining that the country would most likely adjust its personnel numbers in Natuna Islands, Riau Islands and at Datuk Cape in West Kalimantan.
Unlike Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia, which have become embroiled in sovereignty issues with China over the South China Sea, Indonesia has remained an observer.
“We will monitor the South China Sea to gauge developments from time to time,” Moeldoko said as quoted by tribunnews.com on Monday.

Indonesian president to visit PHL
By MICHAELA DEL CALLARMay 20, 2014 8:46pm
Weeks before he steps down from office, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will be in the country for a two-day state visit aimed at strengthening political, defense, security and trade cooperation with the Philippines.
Yudhoyono’s visit came at a time when Manila and Jakarta have resolved a maritime dispute in the Philippines’ southern waters that overlap with Indonesia’s territorial boundary.
Upon the invitation of President Benigno Aquino III, Yudhoyono will be in the country from May 22 to 23 for his first ever state visit since he became Indonesia’s President for two consecutive terms in 2004 and 2009.
The Indonesian leader’s visit also coincides with his attendance to the World Economic Forum on East Asia (WEF-EA) that will be hosted by Manila on May 22.
In that forum, Yudhoyono will be conferred with the Global Statesmanship Award, and witness the official turn over to Indonesia of the hosting of the 24th WEF-EA in 2015.
At their bilateral meeting on May 23, Aquino and Yudhoyono will discuss matters of mutual concern, including political, defense and border, maritime, economic and socio-cultural cooperation, said Foreign Affairs spokesman Charles Jose on Tuesday.
Yudhoyono will also be conferred with the Order of Sikatuna with rank of Raja — the highest award conferred on individuals and heads of state — during the state dinner to be hosted in his honor.
Indonesia is among the Philippines’ major trading partners, ranking 13th in 2013, with a total trade of $ 3.512 billion. It also hosts nearly 10,000 Filipino workers and residents.
After 20 years of negotiations, the Philippines and Indonesia are set to sign an agreement on the delimitation of their overlapping boundaries in the Mindanao Sea and Celebes Sea.
“It will be signed the soonest possible time,” Jose told reporters at a press briefing.
The conclusion of the talks that began in 1994, is a testament to the two countries’ “friendship, patience, goodwill and commitment... to peacefully address maritime issues,” the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
The Philippines is also embroiled in long-running conflicts in another disputed body of water – the South China Sea – where it is locked in decades of territorial conflicts that involve China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan.
China’s “indisputable” claim over nearly the entire waters has made it impossible for its smaller Asian neighbors with less military force to reach a settlement to the row that has sparked several military confrontations in the past.
Of all the claimants, the Philippines and Vietnam have the most number of confrontations with China.
Asked if the Philippines is open to bilateral talks with China and undertake negotiations similar to what it did with Indonesia, Jose said: “In the case of China, there’s no overlapping EEZ so there’s nothing to demarcate.”
“It’s very clear in the provisions of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea where our EEZ starts and ends and where China’s EEZ starts and ends,” he added. —KBK, GMA News

Turkey and Indonesia to develop medium tank
Christopher F Foss, London - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
11 February 2014
An agreement to jointly develop a new medium tank was signed between the Indonesian and Turkish governments in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 6 February. Turkish company FNSS Savunma Sistemleri will work with local company PT Pindad to develop the tank for the Indonesian Army.
It is understood the new tank will be of a conventional design, fitted with a turret armed with a 105 mm rifled gun and 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun (MG) coupled to a computerised fire control system. For ease of deployment in Indonesia it is expected to have a combat weight of about 25 tonnes.
FNSS has extensive experience in the design, development, and production of wheeled and tracked armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), with the latter including the Armoured Combat Vehicle (ACV) family of vehicles, which have been built in significant numbers for the home and export markets.

Navy probing M’sian border violation
Yuliasri Perdani, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | World | Wed, May 21 2014, 12:30 PM
The Navy is continuing investigations into the possibility that the installation by Malaysia of a light beacon on Tanjung Datuk Island is in violation of Indonesian sovereignty.
However, such investigations would have to take into account the unresolved issue of a 1970 bilateral treaty that the House of Representatives (DPR) did not ratify, an expert on international law has said.
Tanjung Datuk lies on the border between Paloh district in Sambas regency, West Kalimantan, and the Malaysian state of Sarawak. The area includes the sand ridge of Gosong Niger in the sea and Camar Wulan on the main island.
Navy chief of staff Adm. Marsetio confirmed to The Jakarta Post that the Pontianak Naval Base had received a report about the possible border violation from the Navigation District Office in Pontianak.
“We have sent a warship to the island, and today [Tuesday] we sent an aircraft to take aerial photographs of the area,” he said on the sidelines of a maritime leadership conference in Jakarta, on Tuesday.
The construction of the beacon on Tanjung Datuk follows a previous border spat with Malaysia over the Ambalat bloc in the Sulawesi Sea.
Marsetio explained that part of the reason why they were still gathering data was because each country had their own perception of the maritime borders. This made it unclear where exactly the border lay.
“[Our investigations] are not finished,” he said. The data will then be submitted to the Indonesian Military (TNI) chief Gen. Moeldoko and also to the Malaysian authorities.
Meanwhile, Navy chief spokesman Commodore Manahan Simorangkir confirmed on Tuesday that Malaysia had halted construction of the light beacon. “Our corvette reached the site and our officers asked them to halt the construction. On 19 May [Monday] at 6 p.m. they agreed to stop the work and go back to their side of the border,” he said in a telephone interview.
Separately, University of Indonesia (UI) international law expert Hikmahanto Juwana said that disagreements on the 1970 sea boundary treaty were at the root of the problem.
He told the Post that Malaysia assumed that the signing of the treaty meant that the borders were final. However, both the 1960 Presidential Letter 2826/HK/60 and Law No. 24/2000 on International Agreements stipulate that an international agreement must be ratified by the DPR to become valid.
“We still claim islands such as Tanjung Datuk because we assume that the treaty is not final because we have not ratified it,” he said.
Hikmahanto said that conflicting views on the subject existed within the government, making it difficult to decide on how to act next.
Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Michael Tene, said they were waiting for the TNI to finish verifying the information they received about the alleged violation before speaking to the Malaysian authorities.
“We cannot make contact with Malaysia yet without verifying the information,” he said. (fss)
