Inclusion of
Australia in Timor Gap talks significant: NGO
KUPANG, East
Nusa Tenggara (JP): Chairman of the Indonesian working group for the Timor Gap
and Ashmore Reef Ferdi Tanoni conveyed here on Thursday his disagreement at the
suggestion of some experts to exclude Australia from talks on maritime borders
in the Timor Gap area.
"No
matter what the reason is, Australia should be involved in the talks on
maritime borders in the Timor Gap because the area is located within the
triangle of Indonesia, Australia and East Timor," Ferdi told Antara.
Indonesian
expert on international maritime law Hasyim Djalal said earlier that the
maritime borders at the Timor Gap should be discussed by Indonesia and newly
independent East Timor, without having to include Australia.
The senior
diplomat of Indonesia's foreign ministry under former minister Ali Alatas,
however, did not elaborate on the reasons why Australia should be excluded from
the maritime border talks.
Ferdi, who is
also chairman of the Care for West Timor Foundation (YPTB), said the inclusion
of Australia in the talks was significant as Australia had a profit-sharing
agreement with East Timor over the Timor Gap.
Based on the
agreement on the sharing of profits from oil reserves in the Timor Sea,
Australia gets a 10 percent royalty while East Timor, which separated from
Indonesia in 1999 and became an independent state in May 2002, gets the
remaining 90 percent.
Ferdi
reiterated that the agreement on the Timor Gap, signed in 1989 when East Timor
was still an Indonesian province by then Indonesian foreign affairs minister
Ali Alatas and then Australian foreign affairs minister Gareth Evans, should be
rediscussed by Indonesia, Australia and East Timor.(Internet).
