1. (C) SUMMARY: Pol/C reviewed Ref A points with Indonesian
and Australian counterparts. A GOI contact said his
government looked at the Indonesian-hosted Proliferation
Security Initiative (PSI) conference to be held on December
12 in Jakarta as a serious opportunity to continue the
discussion with key partners on maritime security issues,
including nonproliferation. He appreciated that the USG was
sending a representative on such short notice. END SUMMARY.



2. (C) REVIEWING POINTS WITH GOI: On December 10, Pol/C
reviewed Ref A points with Andy Rachmianto, Deputy Director
of the Multilateral and International Security Office at the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU). Pol/C noted that the
USG appreciated the GOI's decision to host a conference on
PSI. The USG planned to send a Washington-based expert to
the December 12 conference. This expert will review USG
views on PSI and other maritime security issues. Pol/C noted
that it was important that Indonesia receive information re
PSI from more than one source, and it was positive that
Australia and the UK would also participate in the
conference. Pol/C urged that the GOI also invite other
countries to participate as appropriate.


3. (C) Rachmianto replied that the Indonesian government
looked at the PSI conference as a serious opportunity to
continue the discussion with key partners on key maritime
security issues, including nonproliferation. Noting that he
would be giving a paper, he said he appreciated that the USG
was sending a representative on such short notice. He noted
that representatives from a number of other countries would
participate in the conference.


4. (SBU) AUSTRALIAN INVOLVEMENT: Pol/C also reviewed Ref A
points with Australian Embassy Pol/C Justin Lee. Lee agreed
with our points. The conference and its agenda was not
perfect, but it represented a chance to continue discussion
of PSI with the GOI. Lee confirmed that Australia would be
sending a representative from Canberra. Australia hoped to
discuss next steps with the USG re PSI and the Indonesian
participation question during the conference.
