1. (C) SUMMARY: We conveyed reftel invitation related to
the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) to the GOI.
Indonesia continues to have reservations about joining PSI,
but it will review the invitation to the fifth anniversary
event. END SUMMARY.
2. (C) Poloff spoke with Caroline Tinangon from the Office
of Disarmament and International Security at the Department
of Foreign Affairs (DEPLU) on March 25. We noted that 86
countries had endorsed the Proliferation Security Initiative
(PSI) since its inception in May 2003 and that membership in
PSI had become an indication of a country's seriousness in
preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction. Noting
that we were familiar with Indonesia's known reservations
about PSI, we urged that Indonesia reconsider its position
and consider participating--even as an observer--in the
outreach workshop slated for May 29 in Washington.
3. (C) Tinangon said her office would review the
invitation. She said Indonesia remained open to discussion
of PSI issues. At the same time, Indonesia's position
regarding PSI was well established and unlikely to change
without a major interagency review. There were no plans for
such a review in the near future. We remarked that--from
what we understood--DEPLU had the interagency lead on such
issues, and, underscoring its importance, urged that her
office reconsider the matter.
