JAKARTA: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would like to have closer cooperation with Indonesia in the fight against terrorism.

Speaking at the National Resilience Institute in Jakarta on Friday (Jul 31), Mr Erdogan said he hopes to have a more effective and efficient mechanism to counter the scourge.

Mr Erdogan is in Indonesia for a three-day state visit. This is his first visit to the country since taking office as head of state last year.

During his lecture, Mr Erdogan refuted allegations that Turkey is at fault for allowing foreign fighters to enter Syria to join the Islamic State militant group. He said that the accusations are ungrounded and unjustified.

Instead, Mr Erdogan blamed countries who failed to track their own citizens engaging in terrorist activities and take the necessary precautions in time. He explained that Turkey has a land border with Syria spanning about 900 kilometres, and it is difficult to stop people from entering Syria.

In addition, Mr Erdogan said Turkey is facing powers who try to convey the image that Turkey is assisting terrorist organisations. He stressed that his country is not involved and will never be a part of it.

Mr Erdogan says his country has detected some 16,000 foreign fighters who have planned to join the Islamic State militant group in Syria. So far, Turkey has banned more than 6,000 people from entering the country and deported more than 1,600 if they are suspected to be involved in any extremist activities.

In his address, Mr Erdogan repeated his call for reform of the United Nations (UN), saying the world is suffering because of the decisions made by the UN Security Council. He said the world needs a fairer representation at that level.

He says the solution to tackling religious extremism lies in co-operation and consultation among countries.

The players outside the region should also be involved towards a solution,” said Mr Erdogan. “We have been talking with Indonesia, when it comes to these matters for a while now, and we will continue. When it comes to contributing to global stability our policies overlap.”

BILATERAL FREE TRADE AGREEMENT

Also high on the agenda was how both countries can foster closer economic ties. According to the Indonesian Foreign Ministry, trade between Turkey and Indonesia topped US$2.5 billion last year.

Indonesia aims to more than double its export numbers to Turkey in the next four years, with a target of close to US$4 billion. Indonesia’s main exports to Turkey are natural rubber, synthetic fibre, palm oil and textile.

“We have agreed to remove any trade barriers immediately, and with regards to barriers on the Free Trade Agreement, which we are still pursuing, we have set a target to conclude it by this year,” said Indonesia President Joko Widodo.

Indonesia and Turkey also have agreed to set up a joint economic commission this year to further explore opportunities in both countries.

Mr Erdogan is no stranger to Indonesia having visited the country three times before as Prime Minister of Turkey.

Mr Erdogan hopes his visit to Indonesia will further strengthen bilateral relations. He says that even though Turkey and Indonesia are located at separate ends of Asia, the two countries share a close relationship, united by the same faith.

The call was made by the country's co-ordinating minister for political, legal, and security affairs, Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno, during his visit to Central Sulawesi, local media reported.

Palu naval base was officially opened in April 2013 and will be home to the TNI-AL's fleet of new Chang Bogo-class SSKs once they arrive from South Korea. The service is scheduled to receive the first boat in early 2017 and the second boat by the end of that year, according to TNI-AL sources.

Indonesia to finalize weaponry system plans with Turkey
Sat, August 01 2015, 7:47 PM

Indonesia is ready to finalized cooperation plans with Turkey related to the development of a primary weaponry system (Alutsista).

According to Vice President Jusuf Kalla, the issue was discussed by President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a meeting at the presidential palace on Friday.

The government has appointed state-owned weapons manufacturer PT Pindad to execute the cooperation plans.

"We haven't yet talk about Turkey's investment commitment in the Alutsista development cooperation. But of course we will soon discuss matters related to the joint venture," said Kalla as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.

Jokowi stated on Friday that one of the issues discussed with Erdogan was the eradication of terrorism, which involved a discussion about the Islamic State (IS).

According to Jokowi, the two countries are ready to increase cooperation in intelligence. He also revealed plans to place Indonesian intelligence officers in Turkey.

PT Pindad previously cooperated with other countries to develop Alutsista. It has plans to develop a medium tank with Turkey's FNSS Defence Systems. The latter will provide training for PT Pindad employees to design and produce the tank.

The first tank prototype will be produced in Turkey with the participation of PT Pindad engineers. The second prototype will be produced in Indonesia by PT Pindad. (edn/kes)(++++)

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Indonesian Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has discussed the process of conflict settlement in Aceh, as a model to resolve conflicts in his region.

"We are also talking about each peaceful settlement, such as how to settle the Aceh conflict. President Erdogan studied how to solve the Aceh problem as a model to settle the conflict in Turkey," Kalla said here on Saturday, after a meeting with Erdogan.

Turkey is a country that borders Syria, becoming a potential gateway for people seeking to join the radical movement Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

Kalla said Erdogan also is concerned by the many people who want to join ISIS by traveling through his country.

"Indonesia and Turkey are facing the same problem, ISIS. However, the problem is more serious in Turkey, than in Indonesia," Kalla said.

President Erdogan began a visit to Indonesia last Thursday. He met President Joko Widodo and the leaders of the Indonesian House of Representatives.

The Indonesian and Turkish leaders had discussed bilateral relations, including in economic, trade, defense and peace keeping efforts.
