Melbourne:Documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealing Australia was spying on Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his wife have led to diplomatic tensions between the two nations with Indonesia giving a deadline of two days to respond.
Mr. Yudhoyono posted series of tweets overnight attacking Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's public remarks over the spying scandal as showing insufficient remorse, according to media reports in Melbourne.
His tweets signed as ‘SBY', were understood to be written by him personally in which he said he had instructed Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa on Monday to recall the Indonesian Ambassador from Canberra to Jakarta, calling it an “assertive diplomatic response”.
“Indonesia also asked Australia to give an official explanation that the general public can understand on the wiretapping of Indonesia,” he wrote.
