Description:

At the Indonesia-Australia 2+2 Foreign and Defense Ministerial Meeting on October 27, Indonesia made an immediate proposal to conduct a joint patrol with Australia in the South China Sea, the Jakarta Post reported. As a non-claimant in the maritime disputes and a bystander to the proposed US-led joint patrols in the South China Sea, Indonesia's wave-making deserves particular attention.
