TOKYO (Reuters) - Indonesian President Joko Widodo says China's claims to the majority of the South China Sea have "no legal foundation in international law", Japan's Yomiuri newspaper reported.
The comments, in an interview published on Sunday ahead of visits to Japan and China this week, were the first time Mr Joko, who took office in October, has taken a position on the South China Sea dispute.
Indonesia, the largest country in South-east Asia, has been a self-appointed broker in the myriad territorial disputes between its neighbours and China over the South China Sea. "We need peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region. It is important to have political and security stability to build up our economic growth," Mr Joko was quoted as saying in an English version of the interview published on Monday. "So we support the Code of Conduct (of the South China Sea) and also dialogue between China and Japan, China and Asean."
