Indonesia and Iran to discuss Australia's treatment of asylum seekers

Iran and Indonesia are preparing to discuss Australia’s treatment of asylum seekers, following the death of an Iranian man on Manus Island.

Reza Barati, 23, died on 17 February when riots erupted at Australia’s offshore detention centre.

The Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, visiting Jakarta on Thursday, said Australian policy would be the topic of future talks.

“The lives of our nationals are important to us and we did in fact issue a statement against the way Iranian nationals were treated by Australia,” he told reporters.

“This is an issue we will be discussing,” he said.

“We agreed to have a working group, on consular affairs.

“We will be discussing together this issue in addition to other issues of a humanitarian character arising out of these talks.”

Zarif was speaking at a media conference alongside Indonesia’s foreign minister, Marty Natalegawa, who did not respond to questions about the talks.

The leaders’ talks on Thursday touched on investment, combating terrorism and regional stability.

Diplomatic ties between Australia and Indonesia, meanwhile, have still not normalised after last year’s revelations of spying.

It has been nearly 100 days since the two nations agreed to work on a new code of ethics but little progress has been made since.

Operation Trikora
(December 1961 – August 1962)

Operation Trikora was an Indonesian military operation which aimed to seize and annex the Dutch overseas territory of Netherlands New Guinea in 1961 and 1962. After negotiations, the Netherlands agreed on 15 August 1962 to hand over Western New Guinea to the United Nations.

At the beginning of 1962, Indonesia created a special area command for Western New Guinea under the-then Major General Suharto, who would later become President of Indonesia. Throughout the year, Indonesian incursions into the territory in the form of paratroop drops and the naval landings of guerrillas were used to step up the Indonesian Foreign Minister Subandrio's diplomatic confrontation with the Dutch. Operation Trikora was to unfold in three phases, infiltration, exploitation and consolidation, all under cover of the Indonesian Air Force. The plan called first for the insertion of small bands Indonesian troops by sea and by air drop who would then draw Dutch forces away from areas where the exploitation phase would stage full scale amphibious landings and paratroops operations to seize key locations. The consolidation phase would then expand Indonesian control over the whole of Western New Guinea.

On 15 January 1962 the infiltration phase of Operation Trikora began with three Indonesian motor torpedo boats were doing a routine patrol around the Aru Sea, south of Western New Guinea. The force was detected by a Dutch Neptune aircraft and one of the torpedo boats was sunk by an intercepting Dutch Navy vessel. Over the next eight months, the Indonesian forces managed to insert 562 troops by sea and 1154 by air drops. The inserted Indonesian troops conducted guerilla operations throughout Western New Guinea from April 1962 onwards, but they were largely militarily ineffective. Over 94 Indonesian soldiers were killed and 73 were wounded during the hostilities. By contrast, the Dutch suffered minimal casualties.

Indonesian military activity continued to increase in the area through mid-1962 in preparation for the second phase of the operation. The Indonesian airforce began to fly missions in the area from bases on surrounding islands and Soviet-supplied Tupolev Tu-16 Badger bombers armed with AS-1 Kennel / KS-1 Komet anti-ship missiles were deployed in anticipation of an attack against the HNLMS Karel Doorman.

By the summer of 1962, the Indonesian military had begun planning a large-scale amphibious and air assault against Western New Guinea. This operation would have been known as Operation Jayawijaya ("Victory over colonialism") and would have included a substantial task force of 60 ships including several which had been supplied by Sukarno's Soviet and Eastern Bloc allies.[4] On 13 and 14 August 1962, air drops of Indonesian troops were staged from Sorong in the Northwest to Merauke in the Southeast as a diversion for an amphibious assault against the Dutch military base at Biak Island by a force of 7000 paratroops, 4500 Marines and 13 000 Army troops. However, the Royal Netherlands Navy's signals intelligence section Marid 6 Netherlands New Guinea and Dutch patrol aircraft detected the invasion force and alerted their command.

According to Wies Platje, the Royal Netherlands Navy was responsible for the defense of Western New Guinea. In 1962, the Dutch naval presence in New Guinea consisted of five anti-submarine destroyers, two frigates, three submarines, one survey vessel, one supply ship and two Oil tankers. Dutch airpower in Western New Guinea consisted of nine Lockheed Neptune aircraft and 15 Hawker Hunter jet fighters from the Royal Netherlands Air Force. In addition, Dutch ground forces consisted of several anti-aircraft artillery units, five Royal Netherlands Marine Corps companies and three Royal Netherlands Army infantry battalions. As part of the planned defense, the Dutch had considered using Marid 6 NNG to disrupt the Indonesian military's communication systems.

Operation Trikora
(December 1961 – August 1962)

On 15 August 1962, the Netherlands finally recognized the Indonesia's resolve to take Western New Guinea. Since they were unwilling to be drawn into a protracted conflict on the other side of the world, the Dutch government signed the New York Agreement, which handed the colony to an interim United Nations administration. Consequently, Operation Djajawidjaja was called off and Western New Guinea was officially annexed by Indonesia in 1963. The Dutch decision to hand over Western New Guinea to Indonesia had been influenced by its main ally the United States. While the Netherlands was a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and thus an ally of the Americans, the Kennedy Administration was unwilling to antagonize Indonesia since they were trying to court President Sukarno away from the Soviet orbit.

The New York Agreement was the result of negotiations that were spearheaded by the American diplomat Ellsworth Bunker. As a face-saving measure fore the Dutch, Bunker arranged for a Dutch-Indonesian ceasefire which would be followed by the handover of Western New Guinea on 1 October to a temporary United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA). On 1 May 1963, Indonesia formally annexed Western New Guinea. As part of the New York Agreement, it was stipulated that a popular plebiscite would be held in 1969 to determine whether the West Papuans would chose to remain in Indonesia or seek self determination.

In 1962, the Dutch agreed to contribute US$30 million to the United Nations to fund the development of Western New Guinea. Indonesia also agreed to give the same amount but ultimately did not. The UN however withheld the Dutch funds from the Indonesians when the Indonesian government withdrew from the UN in protest of plans by the UN to send international team to prepare a development plan for West Papua. These funds were restored to Indonesia when it rejoined the UN in 1968.

However, American efforts to win over Sukarno proved futile and Indonesia turned its attention to the former British colony of Malaysia, resulting in the Indonesian-Malaysian Confrontation. Ultimately, President Sukarno was overthrown during the Indonesian coup d'etat in 1965 and was replaced by the pro-Western Suharto. In addition, the American mining company Freeport-McMoRan was interested in exploiting Western New Guinea's cooper and gold deposits

Sagem wins SIGMA 30 export contract

Guillaume Belan, Paris - IHS Jane's Defence Industry
05 March 2014

French opto-electronics manufacturer Sagem has won a new order from Nexter Systems to supply 37 SIGMA 30 navigation and pointing systems for an Asian operator of CAESAR guns, the company announced on 5 March.

While Sagem and Nexter declined to name the customer, the order is believed to be for the Indonesian Army, which ordered 37 CAESAR systems in October 2012 in a deal estimated at USD240 million.

Sagem's SIGMA 30 system features large digital ring laser gyro technology and gives long-range artillery systems immediate, high-precision firing capability, removing the need for GPS-guided munitions.

The Indonesian CAESAR will be in the same configuration as the French Army's CAESAR guns, which have been deployed to Afghanistan and Mali, and are all equipped with the SIGMA 30.
