1. (C) Pol/C reviewed reftel points with Harry Purwanto,
Director for North American Affairs at the Department of
Foreign Affairs (DEPLU),November 8. Pol/C--noting ongoing
tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea--urged Indonesia to
avoid commenting publicly on the substantive merits of any
decision by the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC).
He also stressed the need for countries to avoid putting any
pressure on either country to take any specific action re the
EEBC's decisions or decision-making process.
2. (C) Purwanto expressed appreciation for the information
and said he had so far not been aware of the issue. He said
he would review the matter with relevant DEPLU officials
using USG-provided points. Purwanto seriously doubted
whether Indonesian officials would make any public statements
on the Ethiopia-Eritrea border issue or on the work of the
EEBC.
