Beijing (ANTARA News) - Ten members of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will resume holding their ninth meeting to discuss the situation in the South China Sea in Tianijn, China, on Wednesday, July 29, according to a statement.
Senior diplomats from the ten ASEAN member countries will discuss the South China Sea issue with deputy of the Chinese foreign minister Liu Zhemin on Wednesday.
During the one-day meeting, the representatives of both parties will finalize the implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties (DOC).
The statement also revealed that the DOC of the South China Sea was reached during the eight ASEAN summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2002.
In addition, both parties will also discuss efforts related to maritime cooperation to accelerate the completion of agreement on the Code of Conduct (CoC) in a bid to overcome the South China Sea conflict.
According to the statement, during the ASEAN and China meeting, Indonesia will be represented by I Gusti Agung Wesaka Puja, the director of the ASEAN cooperation division at the countrys foreign ministry.
Puja emphasized that Indonesia continued to push for peace efforts in the South China Sea. One of the efforts made by Indonesia is encouraging the completion of the agreement of China-ASEAN CoC.
Puja further remarked that the code of ethics over the handling of the South China Sea dispute should be resolved and agreed upon in order to maintain regional stability.
In the meantime, Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Tedjo Edhy Purdijatno noted in Yogyakarta on Sunday, May 31, 2015, that Indonesia will always support the establishment of peace in the South China Sea.
"As a country that adopts a free and active policy, we must participate in any effort to create global peace," he remarked after addressing the seventh congress of the Pancasila state ideology at the Gadjah Mada University (UGM).
He was responding to the United States plan to help facilitate military training and weaponry for the ASEAN, including Indonesia to face China when a conflict in the South China Sea erupts.
If a conflict among countries in the South China Sea occurs, Indonesia will remain neutral without siding with any of the conflicting nations, he affirmed.
"Regardless of whether there will be assistance, we will always support peace in the South China Sea," he added.

Ada yang menarik dari kisah Sriyanto, Pimpinan Proyek Alkom Pamtas RI-Malaysia di Kalimantan Timur (Kaltim), yang baru saja menjadi Pimpinan Proyek Alkom Pengamanan Perbatasan. Tugas utama proyek ini adalah instalasi radio – radio komunikasi di daerah perbatasan. Proyek jenis ini baru pertama kali ditangani PT Len Industri, walaupun sebenarnya Len sudah sangat akrab dengan radio. Radio tersebut juga menggunakan Sistem tenaga surya yang diproduksi oleh Len. PLTS tersebut digunakan sebagai sumber energi pemancar dan antena radio-radio untuk berkomunikasi.
“Pemasangan radio di daerah perbatasan merupakan hal yang baru dari Len. Tetapi bagi kami ini sama sekali bukan masalah untuk mewujudkannya. Alhamdulilah proyek ini selesai pada Oktober 2014, tim bisa menyelesaikan proyek ini tepat waktu,” katanya di Bandung, baru-baru ini.
Alkom tersebut nantinya akan digunakan oleh Mabes TNI untuk operasional di Kaltim, daerah perbatasan dengan Malaysia. Untuk penggarapan alkom perbatasan Len bekerjasama dengan Aselsan dari Turki, yakni berupa kerjasama produksi.
Daerah yang akan ter-cover baru 14 titik, dari total ± 36 lokasi di Pulau Kalimantan. Keempat belas titik lokasi yaitu: Kodam VI/MLW – Balikpapan, Korem 091/ASN – Samarinda, Poskotis – Nunukan, Pos Aji Kuning, Pos Gabma Simanggaris, Pos Simanggaris Lama, Pos Simantobol, Pos Simantipal, Pos Labang, Pos Tembalang, Pos Long Midang, Pos Long Apari, Pos Long Bawan, dan Pos Long Betaoh.
Menurut Asrenum Panglima TNI Laksda TNI Among Margono, perbatasan menjadi program prioritas Mabes TNI. Indonesia memiliki tiga wilayah perbatasan di darat, yakni di Kalimantan (berbatasan dengan Malaysia), Papua (berbatasan dengan PNG), dan Timor (berbatasan dengan Timor Leste).
Pembangunan di perbatasan harus meliputi aspek pertahanan dan kesejahteraan. Sarana dan prasarana keduanya harus terintegrasi. Dia menyebut, pihaknya sudah membagikan 600 solar cell untuk pengamanan perbatasan (pamtas) di pulau-pulau terluar, terkecil, dan pamtas di darat berkat dukungan dari Kementerian ESDM.
