Indonesia rejects US air patrols
Print Edition
Indonesia has rejected a proposal by the United States to allow its P-8 Poseidon maritime surveillance planes to land and refuel there, according to four senior Indonesian officials familiar with the matter.
US officials made multiple 鈥渉igh-level鈥 approaches in July and August to Indonesia鈥檚 defense and foreign ministers before Indonesia鈥檚 president, Joko Widodo, rebuffed the request, the officials said.
The P-8, with its advanced radar, high definition cameras and acoustic sensors, has been mapping the islands, surface and underwater areas of the South China Sea for at least six years.
Representatives for Indonesia鈥檚 president and defense minister, the US State Department, and the US embassy in Jakarta did not respond to requests for comment.
