“We will also review a number of bilateral cooperation measures due to the painful treatment by Australia. The U.S. and Australian acts are very damaging to the strategic partnership with Indonesia, a fellow democratic country.
“I also deplore the statement of the Australian Prime Minister for treating lightly the wiretapping of Indonesia without admitting guilt“.
The documents disclosed that Australia attempted to intercept Indonesian president phone on at least one occasion and monitored his calls for 15 days in 2009 and other spying targets included the phones of First Lady Ani Yudhoyono and key government figures.
Ambassador to Australia Nadjib Riphat Kesoema has been recalled and before leaving for Jakarta he said he did not know how long he would be kept out of the country.
“I think a good explanation will be the best way to ease the problem,” he said.
