In order to address the various issues and to meet the difficult challenges, the Government always tries to balance the realisation of the three agendas of development as specified in the Medium Term Development Plan (RPJM). The efforts are embodied in the annual Government Work Plan (RKP). The development theme for the 2008 RKP is “acceleration of economic growth to reduce poverty and unemployment”. Consequently, the 2008 RKP delineates 8 (eight) national development priorities. The eight national development priorities are: (1) increased investment, export and employment opportunities; (2) revitalised agriculture, fishery, forestry, and rural development; (3) accelerated infrastructure development and energy management; (4) improved access and quality of education and healthcare; (5) improved effectiveness in poverty alleviation; (6) corruption eradication and acceleration of bureaucratic reforms; (7) strengthened defence capability and stabilization of domestic security; and (8) disaster management and mitigation, and improved treatment of avian flu.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
My Fellow Countrymen,

We agree that the people's welfare is the estuary of all conducted development agenda. The government continues to carry out programmes for the people. We gradually shall increase the income for the civil servants and the members of the Indonesian Military/Indonesian Police. As to the community, we shall strive to alleviate their expenditures. For example, in the area of education, the government continues to increase the education budget annually. We want our children to benefit a quality education. The government have determined education sector as an essential agenda in the national development, and furthermore to be provided the highest budget.

Meanwhile, operated programmes such as the School Operational Assistance (BOS) and scholarships for poor student at all levels of education, shall continue. We shall also continue to construct the development and rehabilitation of educational equipments and infrastructures at all levels. As for the development and rehabilitation of Elementary Schools, the authority has been fully assigned to the regional government with the assistance of the State Budget through the Special Allocation Fund. The same allocation on the general education has also been conducted on religious education, administered by the Department of Religious Affairs.

We are grateful that our young generation these days has incised an outstanding achievement at various international science olympiads. Such proud achievement shows that the intellectuality of the Indonesian children is at the same level as other children from other countries. Therefore, we should provide our solemn attention towards the improvement of the education quality in our homeland, to enhance more of our young generation of the improvement of the intellectual capability, the healthy physical condition, the smart, the intelligent, and the noble character. It is the kind of generation we expect able to cope with the nation's future impediment.

In the area of health, access and health quality service for the poor community are continuously increased, among others through the Programme of Health Insurance for the poor (ASKESKIN) and by declining the price of medicines, especially generic medicine. To fulfill the needs and equitable distribution of medical staffs, the Government has gradually conducted the placements of medical staffs, especially in the border and isolated areas.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and gentlemen,

The time has now come for me to convey Government Statement on the Bill on the State Budget and Its Financial Note of 2008. The Bill on the State Budget and Its Financial Note of 2008 was prepared based on the eight development priorities of 2008 Government Work Plan. The Government is committed to become more focused in implementing the fiscal policies to develop and improve strategic economic infrastructures, improve education and healthcare programs, and increase the welfare of the poor. Efficiency measures and reduction on goods expenditures, including unproductive service trips, and low priority programmes are being implemented with firmly and earnestly. The guidance and budget allocation of asset expenditures will be more focused on higher economic growth, creation of employment opportunities and poverty reduction. Less productive asset expenditures such as the building and renovation of central government offices and procurement of service vehicles will be cut down to minimum level. The saved fund will be utilised for asset expenditures such as the construction of roads, bridges, irrigation tracks, and transportation infrastructures and facilities. The allocated budget for education and healthcare will seriously be increased as well. These priorities are indeed consistent with our established policy strategy of increased economic growth with equity.

The 2008 Draft State Budget was prepared based on forecasts of national and global economic development national and global economic developments, and predicted next year conditions. Currently, the economic stability is still maintained, with estimated inflation rate at 6.5 percent until the end of 2007. The Government concerns with the significant increase of prices for some commodities. Rupiah's exchange rate – with the adoption of the free float system – fluctuates according to fundamentals and market sentiments. Tangible sector has begun to show revitalisation, with improved growth in primary sectors such as agriculture and mining, and construction, processing industries, transportation and telecommunication sectors.

The economic growth for the first quarter of 2007 reached 6 percent, and it increased to 6.3 percent during the second quarter of the year. Thus, for the past three consecutive semesters, the economic growth has been maintained at above 6 percent and has shown an upward trend. The economic growth was spurred by increased purchasing power, investment and steady level of export. The improved purchasing power for public servants, TNI and POLRI including retirees and veterans, was the result of the 15 percent increase in the base salary for 2006 and 2007, meanwhile for 2008 the increase will be 20 percent. The Government has also increased the meal allowances for, TNI and POLRI since 2005 and for public servants since 2007. The improvement of people's welfare and purchasing power, particularly the poor have been accomplished through education assistance, health insurance system for poor households, rice subsidy, and other forms of subsidy and assistance for farmers, fishermen, small enterprises and cooperatives. Consumption growth during the first semester of 2007 reached 4.7 percent, compared to the same semester last year.

Investment during the first semester of 2007, has shown considerable growth at 7.3 percent, while export growth stabilised at 9.4 percent. With this rate of expansion, the projected 2007 economic growth of 6.3 percent will be achieved. In the period from February 2006 until February 2007, employment opportunities increased by 2.4 million. This increase has pushed the figure of unemployment down to 9.8 percent (10.55 million people) in February 2007, lower than 10.4 percent (11.10 million people) in February 2006. Meanwhile, the number of poor people has decreased from 39.30 million or 17.7 percent in 2006, to 37.17 million or 16.6 percent in 2007.

The momentum for economic growth will be sustained and expected to continue in 2008. The formulation of the 2008 Draft State Budget (RAPBN) is based on the assumptions and projections that the economic growth will reach 6.8 percent. Economic stability will be apparent with 6.0 percent inflation rate, interest rate for the 3-month SBI at 7.5 percent, and an exchange rate of Rp 9.100 to the US Dollar. In 2008, the projected average price of our oil is USD 60 per barrel and oil lifting will grow to 1.034 million barrel per day. Based on those economic projections, Government's revenues and grants in 2008 is expected to reach the amount of Rp 761.4 trillion, meanwhile total state expenditures amount to Rp 836.4 trillion, thereby there will be a budget deficit of Rp 75.0 trillion or 1.7 percent of the Gross Domestic Product.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and gentlemen,

State expenditures are gradually adopting an integrated budgetary system, which is performance-based and has medium term dimension. Central government total expenditures are allocated in the amount of Rp 564.6 trillion, or an increase of 14.3 percent from the Revised 2007 State Budget (APBN-P). The Government will continue to increase the quality of expenditures to be more effectively beneficial to the people and consistent with the development priorities. Personnel expenditures will be increased to enhance the welfare of public servants, security apparatus, and retirees, and to improve the quality of bureaucracy. In the 2008 Draft State Budget, asset expenditures will rise steeply by 48.6 percent amounting to Rp 68.3 trillion to a total of Rp 101.5 trillion, compared to the Draft Revised 2007 State Budget (RAPBN-P). Social assistance will also be increased significantly by 41.8 percent, from Rp 47.5 trillion to Rp 67.4 trillion. The Government will also take measures to perfect the goods and service procurement rules and system, so the disbursement of the allocated budget could be expedited and increased, without sacrificing the principles of good and clean governance.

The departments, which have indispensable roles and responsibilities in building infrastructures, developing the energy sector, food production are the Department of Public Works, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Agriculture, and the Department of Energy and Mineral Resources. The Department of Public Works will be allocated Rp 35.6 trillion or an increase of 41.1 percent compared to the expected realisation in 2007 RAPBN-P. The significant amount of budget increase, in the amount of Rp 15.5 trillion, will be utilised mainly to develop and construct Trans-Sumatra, Trans-Java, Trans-Kalimantan, Trans-Sulawesi, Trans-Bali, Trans-Nusa Tenggara, Trans-Moluccas, and Trans-Papua highways. Rehabilitation/maintenance programmes will be allocated budget in the amount of Rp 3.1 trillion for 30 thousand kilometres of national roads and 50.5 thousand kilometres of bridges spread across many provinces.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and gentlemen,

The allocated budget for the Department of Transportation is Rp 16.2 trillion, or an increase of 64.1 percent compared to the expected realisation in 2007 RAPBN-P. The budget will be used among others for improvement and construction of railway infrastructures and facilities in Java and Sumatra, providing service for pioneer sea transportations and economy class passengers in 18 provinces, construction of the Kualanamu Airport in Medan, completion of the construction of Hasanuddin Airport in Makassar, as well as 27 airports in border, isolated and disaster-prone areas. Concurrently, to improve safety factor, the Government will install 135 packages of supporting facilities for on-flight safety and services, and 259 packages of supporting facilities for flight safety at airports.

The allocated budget for the Department of Agriculture, in the amount of Rp 8.9 trillion, will be used to support agriculture production such as construction and improvement of agriculture infrastructures, research and acceleration of agriculture disseminations and innovations, pests control, animal diseases, and quarantine. Farmers will continue to receive fertiliser subsidy, credit interest subsidy, and seeds subsidy totalling Rp 10.1 trillion, or an increase of 21.9 percent from the expected realisation of 2007 RAPBN-P. Rice subsidy for poor people (Raskin) will be allocated at Rp 5.5 trillion. To encourage agriculture revitalization, the budget allocated for the Department of Public Works amounting to Rp 5.3 trillion will be dedicated to develop and improve irrigation networks, dams, and wetland rehabilitation.

The Department of Energy and Mineral Resources received an allocation of Rp. 5.6 trillion which is mainly purposed for the energy power equipment and infrastructure service quality improvement programme. An amount of each Rp. 46,7 trillion and Rp. 27,8 trillion will be allocated for fuel and electricity subsidy. In order to support the 10 thousand mega watt development of power plants, the government provides guarantee for loan by PLN.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Improvement on fundamental services and equitable distribution, with priority on the improvement on accessibility, quality of education and health, receives high attention. Although the 20% education budget of the central government yet to be fulfilled by Government and the House of Representatives due to imperative needs at other sectors, nevertheless the budget of the Department of National Education budget increased more than double from an amount Rp. 23,1 trillion in the year 2005 to Rp. 48,3 trillion in the year of 2008. At the same time, the budget of the Department of Religious Affairs also increased by two and a half from an amount Rp. 6,5 trillion to Rp. 16,1 trillion. Efforts on improvement on welfare and competence of the teachers' as well as lecturers' shall be gradually fulfilled by accelerating the improvement of qualification and competence of educator as well as academic certification, and to provide various kinds of allowances. In the year of 2007, distribution of School Operational Assistance (BOS) has covered 41.9 million students. The improvement of access and the expansion of education equitable distribution are conducted by supplying utilities and especially for rural and isolated areas. Scholarships for poor student at all educational levels shall be continuously improved.

Meanwhile, also at the same time the budget of the Department of Health increased almost by triple from an amount of Rp. 6.5 trillion to Rp. 18.8 trillion, especially for the health services of the poor community, communicable disease prevention, lack of nutrition treatment, essential generic medicine supply, mother and child health service, as well as providing medical staffs. Utilization of the Health Insurance Programme for the poor community continuously increase and the implementation of the system as well as accountability shall continuously evaluated and improved.

The government endorsed the Family Hope Programme (PKH) that shall be addressed to families whose child yet to enjoy the 9-year Compulsory Education Programme, or pregnant mothers whom yet to receive access to health service by providing conditional cash direct assistance. Utilization of family economy is conducted through the Family Welfare Income Improvement Efforts (UPPKS), which embraces approximately 361 thousand groups with approximately 4.9 million families as members.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The government continues to improve the effectiveness of the poverty prevention programme as well as to accelerate the achievement of the MDGs including to cut-off the poverty chain by opening access to work opportunities, education, and health. For that reason, consolidation on every programme of poverty prevention is conducted based on community utilization organized by 19 Ministries/Institutions in the National Community Utilization Programme (PNPM). The poverty programme consolidation is put into effect for the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Public Works, and the State Ministry of Left Behind Regions Reconstruction. Allocated funding is increased from Rp. 3.9 trillion in 2007 to Rp. 7.0 trillion in 2008 with an addition of the bracing budget of PNPM. With such increase of budget, target of embrace has also increased from approximately 1,993 sub districts in villages and 838 sub districts in cities, to 15,565 villages and 8,813 political districts in 3,800 sub districts.

One of the important steps to develop a strong and productive Micro Credit Medium Enterprises (UMKM) is to increase its capital access. The Budget of the State Ministry of Cooperatives & Small and Medium Enterprises reached Rp. 1.1 trillion among are to provide SMEs and Cooperatives roll funding, and UMKM land certification assistance for credit guarantee. In the Revised 2007 State Budget, the government shall increase the capital for Perum Sarana Pengembangan Usaha and PT Askrindo an amount of Rp. 1.45 trillion to expand the UMKM credit guarantee function.

In the area of housing and residential, the government put efforts to increase community accessibility on housing as well as its supporting equipments and infrastructures. An amount of Rp. 800 billion shall be provided as a subsidy on the financing of simple housing ownership/renovation. The budget of the State Ministry of the People's Housing increased by 55.2% to Rp. 749.1 billion.

My Fellow Country Men,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

In order to improve safety and to optimize the tasks and functions of defence and security, in 2008 the Department of Defence is scheduled to receive Rp. 33.7 trillion budget allocation, as the Indonesian Police is scheduled to receive Rp. 20.9 trillion. Meanwhile, other Ministries and Institutions receive budget allocation based on their development priority and work programme.

Thus, the main policy of Central Government will continuously be syncronized with regional expenditures. Regional budget allocation policy is directed to support national priority programs/activities. Ever since the implementation of fiscal decentralization policy and regional authonomy, budget expenditure allocation to the region continue to rise annually. In the 2008 Draft of State Budget, planned expenditure allocation to the regions is expected to reach Rp. 271.8 billion, or 7.6 percent increase compared to previous year expediture prediction of realisation amounting Rp. 252.5 billion. This comprises of Balancing Fund of Rp. 262.3 billion, special regional authonomy allocation fund and revised fund of Rp. 9.5 billion. Meanwhile, the Balancing Fund allocation comprises of shared fund (DBH) of Rp. 64.5 billion, general allocation fund (DAU) of Rp. 176.6 billion and special allocation fund (DAK) of Rp. 21.2 billion.

As stipulated in the Regulation No. 33/2004, starting from 2008 general allocation fund (DAU) will be allocated to the regions by implementing a formula as mandated by the Regulation. However, general allocation fund (DAU) should also be functioned as the symbol of financial relations between Central Government and Regional Government, therefore the Government will still allocate revised general allocation fund (DAU) to make sure that the Regions receive their share. Furthermore, the Government has also reserved special allocation fund for the year of 2008, amounted to Rp. 21.2 billion, which is an increase of around 24 percent.

In accordance with the Regulation, Aceh and Papua Provinces will receive special authonomy fund at 2 percent of national general allocation fund, in order to finance the development and maintenance of infrastructure, community-based economy, poverty alleviation, education, health and social issues.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

State budget and grant in the year 2008 is expected to reach Rp. 761.4 billion or increases 11.2 percent from state budget and grant in the 2007 revised state budget. In the 2008 Bill on the State Budget (RAPBN), tax return is expected at Rp. 583.7 billion or 13.6 percent toward income budget (PDB). The expectation increases around Rp. 93.8 billion or 19.1 percent compare to last year Planned State Revenue, which amounted to Rp. 489.9 billion. The expected 2008 tax return is based from domestic tax which is Rp. 568.3 billion and foreign trade tax revenue of Rp. 15.4 billion.

In order to optimize state income in the State Budget (APBN), government regulation on tax, in 2008, will be put forward in reforming administration and optimizing tax and custom regulations. The Government and the House of Representative (DPR) have ammended The Tax Regulations and The Custom Revision Regulation, and on behalf of the Government I sincerely extend my gratitute. As for the ammendment of daily income tax regulation (UU PPh), state income tax regulation (UU PPN), oil and gas income tax regulation (PPnBM), as well as Tax Regulation (RUU Pajak) and regional restribution (Restribusi Daerah) are still being discussed. I do hope that the discussion is being put forward to create a better business environment.

In the 2008 Bill on the State Budget (RAPBN), non-tax state budget is targeted at Rp. 175.6 billion, around Rp. 16.2 billion difference or 8.5 percent lower than last year, due to lower government revenue from state-enterprises and other non-tax state budget. The Government constantly perfecting rules and regulations with regard to non-tax state budget (PNBP), as well as optimazing and intensifying income.

My fellow countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The state expediture is targeted at Rp. 836.4 billion, while state income and grant at Rp. 761.4 billion, therefore the 2008 Planned State Budget will experience a deficit at around Rp. 75.0 billion or 1.7 percent toward PDB, increases 21 percent compare to last year expected budget deficit in the Revised State Budget (RAPBN-P). The reason behind the deficit linked strongly toward government's fiscal policy in its attempt to stimulate the country's economy.

In 2008 Planned State Budget, domestic budget financing will be targeted at a net amount of Rp. 91.7 billion. The sources will originate among other from the issuance government bond at a net amount Rp. 91.6 billion. Other sources include assets sale from banking restructuring and RDI or government account usage around Rp. 0.6 billion, as well as privatization at a net of Rp. 1.5 billion.

In the meantime, budget financing that originate from overseas loans are expected at a net amount of negative Rp. 16.7 billion, as a result from withdrawal of credit programs and credit projects amounting to Rp. 43.0 billion, which is less than the main instalments of foreign debts at Rp. 59.7 billion. This is consistent with the Government's aim to reduce foreign debt instalment share in the budget income.

Increase in budget deficit should be matched with fiscal resillience. Policy steps to increase the fiscal resillience should be undertaken through prudent, transparent, accountable, with minimum cost, and credit risk in the arrangement of Government Bond, as well as perfecting loan portfolio structure. In late 2008, the Government credit ratio is expected to decrease at around 33.0 percent. This will strengthen fiscal resillience, which is in line with the primary aim to embrace sustainable fiscal independency. Such is vital, especially in such volitile global economy.

For the first time, this year Financial Notes, has also include risk and influential factor which will immensely influence the State Budget. Risk factors are derived from revised economic assumptions and macro economic indicators, infrastructure development program, public service obligation and the welfare of state-enterprises, as well as other factors, such as natural disasters and pension regulation and social security programs which are about to be imlemented. The Government has done its utmost to minimize the affect and risk level which influence the implementation of the State Budget (APBN).

The State Budget instruments are deemed to be effective in reaching its development target, only if it is being supported by sound budget planning and the ability to consistently implement based on good governance. Inefficiency, corruption and misappropriation should be evaded. The Government posses strong commitment to administer budget, in a clear, efficient and accountable manner. A stable economic condition will provide more rooms toward consistent implementation of the State Budget.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

This last few day we have witnessed the world stock exchange turmoil, which triggered by the collapse of suprime mortgage market in the United States of America. The effect can be seen through the sharp stock and monetary exchange correction throughout the world, including in Indonesia. Such condition remind us that globalization, apart from opening new opportunities for our development, is also contain with risks which we have to be cautious with. What we experience today, are also being experienced by other countries in the world. We only hope that all efforts by financial institution in developed countries will be able to curb such turmoil. We also undertaking anticipation efforts in order to co-ordinate policy between financial institution and monetary, to keep us alert. I am sure that our strong economy fundamental, financial condition, and foreign reserve, which we have so far nurtured, as well as enforcement measures , will Insya Allah, bring us out with as minimum affect as possible.

Although the path of our nation have not been as smooth and as easy, with many trial and tribulation, but we have to be sure that what we have accomplised are the right one for us. We will always improve our nation's development for the benefit of people's welfare, and safeguard it from any disturbunces from home or abroad. We have to believe in what we have achieved as a Nation and that we are just a step away from our initial ideals.

Facts on Indonesia's Sovereignty over Irian Jaya

Questions and Answers


1. What was the nature of the Iran Jaya issues ? Was this issue a case of decolonization or incomplete decolonization of Indonesia ?

Iran Jaya was a bilateral matter between the Netherlands and Indonesia regarding an incomplete process of decolonization of the Netherlands East Indies. Iran Jaya was neither a separate entity nor a non-self-governing territory detached from the Netherlands East Indies. The problem arose when the Netherlands insisted on maintaining its presence in the western half New Guinea. At the beginning, there was no international dimension to this problem until Indonesia brought the issue to the United Nations in 1954 after all bilateral means had been exhausted. Therefore, it would not be relevant to draw a comparison between East Timor and Iran Jaya as the crux of the problem is totally different. East Timor was recognized by the United Nations as a non-self-governing territory, with Portugal as the administering power, while Iran Jaya remained an resolved question of decolonization of Indonesian territory of what was once the Netherlands East Indies. It was the disruption of the Dutch decolonization process in 1949 that led to struggle of more than a decade by Indonesia to consolidate its territorial integrity and sovereignty over Irian Jaya.

2. Did the Dutch renege on its earlier agreements with Indonesia ?

The dutch reneged on a series of commitments made prior to the Round Table Conference of 1949 in Den Haag. For before that time, there was never any doubt in the negotiations between the Dutch and the Indonesians on the status of Iran Jaya. This is reflected in several agreements concluded between Indonesia and Netherlands : The Linggardjati agreement of 1947 explicitly stated “ The United States of Indonesia shall comprise the entire territory of the Netherlands East Indies”. The Renville Agreement of 1948 further underlined “ Sovereignty throughout the Netherlands Indies is and shall remain with the Kingdom of Netherlands until, after a stated interval, the Kingdom of the Netherlands transfers its sovereignty to the United States of Indonesia”, and the Roem-Van Royen Agreement of 1949 which in sum stated that the “United States of Indonesia shall comprise of the entire territory of the Netherlands East Indies in accordance with the terms of the Revile Agreement”, Two other documents prove in an unmistakable way that it had never been the intention of the Dutch to separate West Papua from the rest of the East Indies colony. These were the Netherlands Constitution of 1948 and the Netherlands Report on its colony to the United Nations in 1949. Later, the Round Table Conference of 1949 settled the conflict between the two countries, resulting in the full recognition and acceptance by the Netherlands of the independence and sovereignty of Indonesia. It did not however settle the conflict in a comprehensive manner as it left out the territory of West New Guinea. In Indonesia’s view, this constituted a case of incomplete decolonization. For, it left out the unsettled question of West New Guinea was to be resolved within a period of one year after the transfer of sovereignty to Indonesia through peaceful negotiations between the Government of Indonesia and the Netherlands.

3. On what basis did Indonesia claim sovereignty over Iran Jaya ?

As far as Indonesia was concerned it was the legal successor to all territories, which during colonial times were called the Netherlands East Indies, in accordance with the provisions of agreements concluded between the two countries as well as by established international legal principles. Thus it viewed Iran Jaya as an integral part of the Republic of Indonesia at the time of proclamation of independence on August 17, 1945. In this regard, it should be emphasized that the international principle of “uti posseditis juns” asserts that the boundaries of nascent post-colonial countries conform to their pre-sovereign ones. For whatever reasons, in principle and logic, the issue of tittle ends there.

4. Why did Iran Jaya become an issue at the United Nations ?

The bilateral question became an issue at the United Nations because Indonesia brought up the matter before the UN General Assembly at its ninth session in 1954 as no progress had been made to resolve this matter in the bilateral talks and therefore there was a need to solicit international support. Such support was further obtained at the Bandung conference of 1955 and was incorporated into the final communique requesting to the United Nations to help the two sides reach a peaceful solution. The United Nations General Assembly discussed this items from the years 1954 to 1957 and then again in 1961 but a peaceful solution provide elusive.

5. What were the background developments to the New York Agreement in 1962 ?

For eight long years, the General Assembly had been unable to assist the parties in finding a solution. In light of the breakdown of relations between the two countries, Indonesia therefore availed of the initiative of the United Nations Secretary-General to join the Netherlands in informal discussions. Both the Indonesian and Netherlands Governments agreed to the intermediary of the Secretary-General U Thant and Ambassador Eilsworth Bunker of the United States of America. Largely due to their tireless efforts and coupled with the desire of both Governments, a bilateral settlement was reached between Indonesia and the Netherlands, with the conclusion of the New York Agreement.

6. What was the role of the UN with regard to the question of West Papua ? Who were the parties to that Agreement ?

The role of the United Nations was limited to an intermediary one. In this regard, it should be noted that Article XVII of the New York Agreement stated “Indonesia will be invite the Secertary-General to appoint a Representative who, together with a staff made up, inter alia, of experts refereed to in Article XVI, will carry out the Secretary-General’s responsibilities to advise, assist and participate in arrangements which are the responsibility of Indonesia”. It is also pertinent to note that financial expenses incurred by the Secretary-General were borne by the Indonesian and the Netherlands Governments in equal shares. Nothing was to be paid for by the United Nations. From the outset, the UN’s involvement was aimed at finding a solution to bilateral matter through dialogue and peaceful means.

7. What the salient feature of the New York Agreement ?

The central feature of the agreement was provision for an initial transfer of administration of this territory from the Netherlands to an interim UN authority (United Nations Temporary Executive Authority/UNTEA) effective 1 October 1962 and then for a final transfer from UNTEA to Indonesian control after 1 May 1963.

In addition, it was stipulated that an act of free choice would take place before the end of 1969 in order to determine whether or not the West Papuans peoples wished to remain subject to Indonesian jurisdiction, the arrangements of which were to rest solely with the Indonesian Government. It is important to stress that the Agreement was clearly a bilateral one and not called for by resolution of the United Nations or by any other mandate of the General Assembly.

8. Were the transfers of authority in Iran Jaya from the Dutch to the UN and later from the UN to Indonesia in line with the terms of the Agreement ?

The transfers of administration from the Netherlands to the UNTEA (United Nations ) took place on 1 October 1962, in accordance with Article V and VI of the New York Agreement, in a ceremony when the UN flag was raised and flown side by side with that of the Netherlands. Later, on 31 December 1962, the Netherlands flag was replaced by the Indonesian flag and flown next to the UN flag. In line with the provisions of Article XII of the New York Agreement, the Administrator of UNTEA, transferred full administrative control to Indonesia on 1 May 1963. The transfer of administration from the Netherlands to UNTEA and thereafter to Indonesia was achieved peacefully and without incident. The population was prepared for the changes to be brought about by the Agreement. The disruption of essential public services was avoided and continuity in employment was maintained.

9. What were the grounds to pronounce that the act of free choice in 1969 was internationally acceptable and valid?

The act of free choice was final, legal and irrevocable as Article XVII of the Agreement was implemented whereby the representative councils of Iran Jaya were consulted on the appropriate procedures and methods to ascertain the will of the people. Indonesia’s proposal was accepted and the enlarged councils, which included a total of 1026 members, pronounced themselves, unanimously on behalf of the people of Iran Jaya to remain with Indonesia. Considering the specific difficulties of the terrain and the condition of the population at that time, the modalities of consultations with the representatives councils on procedures on methods were the best option to ascertain the free will of the people. This position was also reflected in the Secretary Generals report to the General Assembly in 1969 in which his quoted his Representatives conclusions of the implementation of the act of free choice by stating that “…it can be stated that, with the limitation impose by the geographical characteristics of the territory and the general political situation in the area, an act of a free choice in West Iran…”. It is also noteworthy to point out was that this episode mark a significant event for the United Nations, considering it’s participation in such an activity for the first time.

In sum, it is an indisputable fact that the people of Iran Jaya exercise their right of self-determination through an act of free choice conducted from 14 July to 2 August 1969 in accordance with the relevant provicience of the 1962 New York agreement.

10. Was the UN successful in mediating the bilateral conflict between Indonesia and the Netherlands? Why did the United Nations General Assembly only take note of the result of the New York Agreement?

Bearing in mind the limited role of the United Nations in this conflict, in can be concluded that the Organization was successful in acting as an mediator by bringing to an end long-standing bilateral dispute between Indonesia and the Netherlands. Indeed, the United Nations had completed its task finding a lasting and peaceful solution to a question, which could have post a real threat to regional security and stability of South East Asia. In affirming the successful outcome of this act of free choice, UNGA resolution 2504 (XXIV) only took note of the result of the New York Agreement in light of its bilateral nature while acknowledging with appreciation the fulfillment of the Secretary General and his representatives of the tasks entrusted to them under the Agreement of 1962 between the Republic of Indonesia and the Kingdom of Netherlands.

In reflecting the overwhelming support of the international community, the latter solution was adopted with 84 members voting in favor, none against and 30 absence, as the entire process had met the requirements of the New York Agreement. It should be recall in this context the earlier UNGA 1752 (XVII) had taken note of that instrument went authorizing the Secretary General to carry out the task entrusted to him. The UNGA took note of the Agreement as envisaged in the article 1 of the Agreement which says that ‘… Indonesia and the Netherlands will jointly sponsored a draft resolution in the United Nations under the term of which the General Assembly of the United Nations takes note of the present Agreement.

11. Is the claim of the Second Congress of Papua in June 2000 that Iran Jaya has been independent since 1 December 1961 true?

Such a claim without foundation as the fact of free choice had already been conducted in line with the provisions of the New York Agreement and all parties, including the United Nations, played their respective roles and fulfilled their responsibilities. In this regard it should be reiterated that the UN General Assembly has noted the results of the act of free choice through resolution 2504 (XXIV) and thus consideration on this question cannot be renewed. The Dutch never recognized Iran Jaya as a sovereign entity, a fact which was confirm in the proceedings of the New York Agreement in 1962. Neither did they ask the other party to the bilateral Agreement challenge its outcome. Iran jaya as an integral part of Indonesia occupies a status equal to the other provinces, its people join political parties, participate in election and send representatives to the Indonesian Parliament.

12. Considering the historical evolution and contemporary developments, what is the most appropriate solution to the issue?

The issue of Iran Jaya has to be put in the right perspective that Iran Jaya was an integral part of the Netherlands East Indies during the Dutch colonialism. The Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945 as well during the proclamation of Indonesian independence in 1945 the restoration of Indonesian sovereignty through the transfer of authority from United Nations Temporary Executive Authority (UNTEA) to Indonesia and the conclusion of the act of free choice solidified Indonesia’s territorial sovereignty over Iran jaya. Therefore, any solution to the issue must be within the framework of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia. It is important to stress that Indonesia is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural and multi-linguistic nation with “unity in diversity” as its model. It is therefore important to find common ground to bridge differences among its peoples as differences are common in democratic societies through out the world. One such way is to accord greater autonomy to provinces, including Iran jaya at the regional level so that the people can improve their lives an assured access to the government. Indeed, regional autonomy is destined to emerge as a unifying factor of a diverse, united and democratic Indonesia.

Problems arising of the province of Iran Jaya has to be dealt with on a national basis and the Government would view any attempt to disrupt Indonesia’s sovereignty over Iran Jaya as interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state.

PEOPLE

Due to Indonesia's emergence into an archipelago where its inhabitants, though of one similar ancestry , were separated by seas and therefore lost contacts, have caused the individual development of cultures, including their languages and their growing into diversification.


Nevertheless, the population of Indonesia has been reclassified, not so much on the basis of their racial origins, but more so on the basis of their linguistic identities caused by mentioned diversification, into four ethnic groups. A pure classification according to their racial origins is difficult to realize due to their inter-marriages. These four main ethnic groups are the Melanesians (the mixture between the Sub-Mongoloids with the Wajaks), the Proto-Austronesians (including the Wajaks), the Polynesians and the Micronesians.

These Melanesians are again sub-divided into the Acehnese of North Sumatra, the Batak in Northeast Sumatra, the Minangkabaus in West Sumatra, the Sundanese in West Java, the Javanese in Central and East Java, the Madurese on the island of Madura, the Bali-nese, the Sasaks on the island of Lombok, and Timorese on Timor Island. On the island of Borneo in Indonesia's Kalimantan, one finds the Dayaks. On the island of Sulawesi in the north are the Minahasas and in the center the Torajas, and in the southern part, Makasarese and the Buginese. The Ambonese in the Maluku and the Irianese in Papua are Polynesians and Proto-Austronesians. The Micronesians are found on tiny islets of Indonesia 's eastern borders.

The population of Indonesia is about 210 million, the fourth most populous in the world next to China, India and the United States. One of the biggest current problems is uneven population distribution. For instance, about 62% of the population living in the island of Java, whose land area consitute only 7% of the country’s total territory.


Language and Dialects

Languages and dialects spoken and written over the whole of the Indonesian archipelago, 150 to 250 in number, are usualy clasified according to the above mentioned ethnic denominations. The main district local languages of Indonenesia are among others: the Acehnese, Batak, Sundanese, Javanese, Sasak, Tetum of Timor, Dayak, Minahasa, Toraja, Buginese, Halmahera, Ambonese, Ceramese, several Irianese languages and other such languages. In between these languages there exist many other different dialects.

Indonesia's National Language has been officially introduced since Indonesia 's independence and is called the BAHASA INDONESIA. Its lexicon and structure is mainly based on the Malay language enriched by Indonesia 's lexicon of her multi-local languages and dialects. Although the Bahasa Indonesia has since been regarded as the Lingua Franca, yet local languages are equally valid and no attempt and intention exist to abolish these local languages and dialects. Therefore, the greater part of the Indonesian nationals are bilingual.

In August 1973, Indonesia and Malaysia signed a cultural agreement in which similar spelling of both the Malaysian “Bahasa Persatuan" and the lndonesian "Bahasa Indonesia” has been agreed upon.

Ethnic Group

The first inhabitant of Indonesia dates back 500,000 years ago, named Pithecanthropus erectus by Eugene Dubois who found the fossils at several places on the island of Java in the vicinity of the Bengawan Solo River. The fosil found in 1891 and 1892 in the village of Trinil, were called Homo Soloensis, while those found in Wajakkensis. Homo Soloensis with the same characteristic as the Austro Melanosoid people had roamed to the West (Sumatra) and to the East (Papua).

In the period of 3,000-500 BC, Indonesia was inhabited by Sub-Mongoloid migrants from Asia who later inter-married with the indigenous people. ln 1,000 BC, inter-marriage still occurred with Indo-Arian migrants from the South-Asian sub-continent of India. The influx of the Indian settlers until the seventh century AD brought about the Hindu religion spread throughout the archipelago.

Moslem merchants from Gujarat and Persia began visiting Indonesia in the 13th century and established trade links between this country and India and Persia. While conducting trade, the Gujarat and the Arab people also spread the Islamic religion in this area. The first to accept the Islamic religion were the coastal kingdoms, which before had embraced Hinduism.

In Aceh, Islam was widely accepted by the community with the Pasai and Perlak Kingdoms becoming the first Moslem kingdoms in the archipelago. First accepted by court circles, Islam found its way to the community at a later stage. Particularly in Java, the "Wali Songo" (Islamic preachers) had played a very important role.

It was in 1511, that Portuguese arrived in Indonesia. The arrival of the Portuguese should be linked to the European demand for spices. They were followed by Spaniards, the Dutch and the British. Besides search for spices, they propagated Christianity. In the rivalry that ensued, the Dutch ultimately succeeded in gaining the trade monopoly in spices throughout the archipelago, thus making the beginning of 350 years of Dutch colonialism over the country .

In the period preceding independence, Indonesia 's community was made up of a large variety of ethnic groups or rural communities. The member of each group are tied to each other by a sense of solidarity and identity which finds its roots in the land, language, art, culture and customs they share.

There are about 500 ethnic groups in Indonesia spread from Sabang (the northernmost tip of Sumatra) to Merauke in Papua. The Javanese community comprises the largest number of Indonesia's total population, followed by the Sundanese, Madurese, Minangkabau, Buginese, Batak and the Balinese. Other ethnic groups are among others the Ambonese, Dayaks, Sasaks, the Acehnese, etc. Apart from the indigenous communities, other subcommunities of foreign descent are the Chinese, Arabs and Indians.

Top


Religion

Besides the variety of ethnic groups, different religions are found in Indonesia. One of the special characteristics of the Indonesia culture is the high appreciation of the community towards religion and the faith in One and Only God.

There are five world religions, which have formally been recognized in Indonesia, they are Islamism, Catholicism, Protestanism, Hinduism and Buddhism. Nevertheless, other faiths are found, especially in isolated societies, which have been accepted and are called traditional faith. According to statistics, the majority of the Indonesian people are Moslems.

The 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, paragraph 2 article 29 ensures freedom of religious practice. Every Indonesian citizen has the right to adhere to the religion of his /her own choice and there shall be no religious discrimination. Every citizen shall respect and be tolerant to each other belief while any form of anti-religious program shall be condemned and prohibited.

Top


Art and Culture

Indonesia is rich in art and culture which are interwined with religion and age-old tradition from the time of early migrants with western thought and cultural values initially brought by Portuguese traders and Dutch colonialist. The basic principles which guide life, include the concepts of mutual assistance or “gotong-royong” and consultation or “musyawarah” to arrive at consensus of “mufakat”. Derived from rural life, this code of behaviour or “adat” law still exists in community life throughout the country, differing from area to area.

Religious influences on the community are evident from island to island. Unlike some countries, art forms in Indonesia is not only based on folklore, as many were developed in the courts of former kingdoms such as in Bali and Java, where they are part of religious ceremonies.

The famous dance dramas of Java and Bali are derived from Hindu Mythology. Highly stylized in movement and costume, dances and the “wayang” (puppet) drama are accompanied by a full “gamelan” orchestra comprising of xylophones, drums, string instruments and flutes. The bamboo instrument called “angklung” of West Java are well known for their unique tinkling notes. The leather shadow puppet, called “Wayang Kulit” of Java is performed with the puppets held by the puppeteer against a white screen, with the shadow of the characters on the screen visible from the other side, where the audience are seated.

The crafts of Indonesia vary in both medium and art form. The people are artistic by nature and express their ideas, inspiration and thought on wood, metal, clay, cloth and stone. Batik is the famous waxed and dyed cloth of Java, produced in some other areas such as in Bali, Jambi and Madura which varies in their respective local creativity and colouring. Other provinces produce hand-woven cloths of gold and silver threads, silks or cottons with intricate designs, such as Lampung, Palembang, Makassar and West Nusa Tenggara.

      Embassy of Indonesia - Ottawa Canada Ovtober 18, 2000     

Donors reaffirm support for Indonesia

October 18, 2000—The tenth meeting of the Consultative Group on Indonesia (CGI) concluded today in Tokyo after two days of discussions on the Indonesian economy.

“Three issues were of paramount interest at the meeting—the continuation of structural reform as outlined in the letter of intent to the IMF, the clear articulation of a poverty reduction strategy, and implementation of a comprehensive governance program that covered legal and judicial reforms, decentralization, and forest management,” Jemal-ud-din Kassum, World Bank Vice President for East Asia and Pacific Region and Chairman of the CGI, said today. He added, “I was struck by the very open and substantive exchange of views. This created a positive atmosphere and reinforced the
strong partnership between the government and donor community.”.

Donors announced their pledges at the close of the two-day meeting after reviewing the Government’s priorities, policy initiatives, and strategies for implementing key economic, social and institutional reforms central to accelerating Indonesia’s recovery. In all, the donors pledged US$4.8 billion to support the government budget. “These pledged resources will be adequate to finance the budget and our development programs, but we
recognize they are mostly loans and will add to our government’s already onerous debt situation. Therefore, we will only draw upon these funds if absolutely necessary and only after exhausting every alternative to meet our development needs from domestic sources,” said Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Rizal Ramli. A further US$530 million was pledged for technical assistance grants and support for Indonesian non-government organizations.

The Indonesian delegation, led by Ramli, briefed the international donor community on the state of the Indonesian economy and on the status of policy reforms in a broad range of areas. Ramli also explained the latest situation in West Timor and government
actions to disarm the militia, and reported that individuals had been arrested in connection with the murder of three UNHCR workers and seven Indonesian civilians in Atambua last September. “We remain committed to resolving the security challenges in the border areas of West Timor, and many steps to address this matter have
already been taken,” he said.

The donor community welcomed the Indonesian Government’s invitation to a Security Council mission to observe progress in West Timor next month and noted the importance of continued progress in this difficult area. They offered assistance and support to the refugee humanitarian and resettlement program once security conditions permit.

On the current state of the Indonesian economy, donors were encouraged by some recent positive trends. They noted that economic growth has taken hold, and its base has expanded beyond consumption. Inflation is contained, and the numbers of those living below the poverty line are declining. Nevertheless, donors urged the government to deal with domestic political and security issues (including regional unrest in Maluku, Aceh and Irian Jaya, also called West Papua.) Failure to take appropriate action could weaken market sentiment and slow, or even stall, recovery, they said.

On the program of structural reforms, “one message that emerged strongly was the critical importance of keeping the reform program—as described in the government’s Letter of Intent to the IMF—on track,” said Kassum. One structural reform issue that
attracted particular attention was the pace and quality of corporate restructuring.

In the session on poverty reduction, the clear, strong content of the government’s statement was welcomed by many donors. There was broad recognition that poverty concerns should permeate all government policies and programs, and recognize the special needs of the vulnerable, in particular women and children. The overarching strategy bringing together these different initiatives would rest on the three cornerstones of economic opportunity, empowerment, and security.

On the governance agenda, the government presented progress on the Partnership for Governance Reform. Strong emphasis was placed on legal and judicial reform, decentralization and forestry management. The donors recognized that the government inherited weak institutions and governance systems, and has initiated reforms on many fronts. But progress has been slow—certainly in relation to the expectations of the people and the international community. Donors understood the huge constraints confronting the government and the difficulty of tackling such deep-rooted problems. At the same time, the international community wanted to help accelerate momentum—especially in key areas such as legal and judicial reforms, decentralization, and forest management.

On development priorities, aid effectiveness, government debt and financing requirements, a more participatory approach to aid utilization and management was recommended; one that involves civil society groups. The government presented the key features of the draft budget and highlighted its development priorities. It also presented proposals for strengthening financial management and procurement systems that will ensure government resources reach intended beneficiaries and improve the effectiveness of aid.

This year’s CGI meeting included five representatives of civil society groups, which presented a joint statement on their development priorities and concerns. This participation was welcomed by the donor delegates and the Government of Indonesia. Donors have agreed to hold a mid-year interim CGI meeting in Jakarta six months from now, while the next CGI is tentatively planned to be held at the same time next year—also in Jakarta.

Donors Reaffirm Support  for Indonesia
US$4.8 billion pledged at Tokyo meeting

THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA
AND
THE GOVERNMENT STATEMENT
ON
THE BILL ON THE STATE BUDGET
FOR THE 2008 FISCAL YEAR
AND
ITS FINANCIAL NOTE
BEFORE THE PLENARY SESSION OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA

Jakarta, 16 August 2007

Bismillaahirrahmaanirrahiim,
Assalaamu'alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh,

May we all be bestowed with prosperity,
Honourable Speaker, Deputy Speakers, and Members of the House of Representatives,
Esteemed Chairpersons, Deputy Chairpersons, and Members of State Institutions,
Excellencies, the Ambassadors and Representatives of International Agencies and Organizations,

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let us offer our praise and gratitude to Allah SWT for it is with His mercy and grace that today, we are able to attend the Plenary Session of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia, to commence The Opening of First Session Period of Session Year 2007/2008. Let me take this auspicious occasion to thank the House, which has provided me with the opportunity to deliver this State Address and the Government Statement on the Bill on the State Budget for 2008, and its Financial Note.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
My Fellow Countrymen,

It is indeed my pleasure that today once again I am able to convey my State Address, and to deliver my messages to all the people in all corners of the country. Insya Allah, tomorrow we will commemorate the sixty-second anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence of our country. In this historic moments, we deem to reflect, and to express our gratitude and highest appreciation to our patriots and heroes who had dedicated their lives to up hold our country. Endeavours that were given with every drops of their tears and blood, and endless diplomacy.

In this historic day, once more, I wish to extend my profound expression of gratitude and respect to our heroes and founding-fathers to our Independence Proclamation, Bung Karno and Bung Hatta, who delivered our nation to be a free country. I also wish to express my highest appreciation and respect to the Presidents who have preceded me, Dr. Ir. Soekarno, Grand General Soeharto, Prof. Dr. B. J. Habibie, KH. Abdulrahman Wahid and Ibu Megawati Soekarnoputri for their dedication and contribution in leading the nation and state, so that we have reached the current state of progress. I firmly believe, that our predecessors have dedicated their best albeit all the challenges and hardships encountered. Let us all salute their services and dedications to this country.

At this auspicious occasion, I invite all Indonesian people wherever they might be, to interpret the Independence to build our nation and country together to a better future. Let us nurture back our nation bond among every child of the nation from different ethnic group, religion, race and culture. Let us strengthen our togetherness in the frame of Unity in Diversity (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika).

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

We cannot deny that along our nation's history, we have encountered various trials and tribulations. After The Proclamation of Independence on August 17, 1945, we had to carry out an armed resistance to ward off the colonials who determined to once again occupy our country. We also faced with our own brothers and sisters who wished to separate themselves from The Unitary State of The Republic of Indonesia. Fifty year ago, when our country celebrated its twelfth anniversary on August 17, 1957, President Soekarno once said; ‘…Our hearts sometimes pounding. Are we going to drawn as a result of this 1957 ordeal? Or can we survive as a country?' The statement was said regarding to the unsteady political and security situations. Even in other time, Bung Karno also stated that some people foreseen that ‘Indonesia is breaking up', and was also said to be ‘a nation in collapse'. At that given time, our Country was at the verge of breaking apart.

Ten years ago, in the beginning of our devastating crisis, questions in disbelieve and in distrust were commonly asked. When our nation was battered by economic crisis which then turn into multidimensional crisis, we came across grave challenges. Our people seemed to be misplaced. They lost their self identity as a dignified nation. Anarchy, violence, and animosity are our daily lives' routine. Moreover, world situation was also uncertain and volatile. Turbulence to our economy was sturdy. That time, there were anxiety, disorientation and skepticism from our people. Even from international community, some harsh judgments were made that we were disintegrating as a nation and would collapse soon.

Alhamdulillah, with the blessing of Allah SWT, and our patience, ventures, and determination as a nation, we can successfully overcome every turbulence and crisis that came in our way. Today, we witness together that our beloved country, Indonesia, is still standing tall; from Sabang to Merauke; from Miangas to Rote Island. We have proved that the skepticism of 1957 unfounded. Fifty years afterwards, Indonesia is still survived. The devastating crisis that has happened since ten years ago can be surmounted as well. Let us prove, that in ten years, or fifty years from now and beyond, insya Allah, our Country will not merely standing tall, but also more developed and prospered.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

I want to refresh our memory on the basic framework of our nationhood. There are four pillars of basic consensus and value that sustain our beloved Country, Pancasila, The 1945 Constitution, The Unitary State of The Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), and Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. Throughout the long history of our nation, there was always turbulence to those pillars. In this recent globalisation and transformation era, we are still encountered those turbulence to our stated pillars. We should firmly stated

Pancasila is the Five Principle Ideology of our nation, foundation of the Republic of Indonesia. Pancasila is our nation philosophy; welthanchaung, way of life, and identity of our nation, that bound and unify our nation. We still bear in mind that in 1998 of earlier reform era, The People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) issued The People's Consultative Assembly's Decree Number XVIII/MPR/1998 which not only revoked The People's Assembly's Decree Number II/MPR/1978 concerning The Pancasila Implementation Guidelines, but also clearly stipulated Pancasila as the nation ideology. Therefore, on this moment of celebration, I urge all of us to firmly hold and embrace Pancasila as the identity of our nation.

The Preamble of the 1945 Constitution that stated our ideals, national goals, and ideology should be well guarded. The shape of The Unitary State of The Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is also final. We will never tolerate anyone and in any form initiated to agitate the territorial unity and sovereignty of our country. Amidst the diversity of our nation, the Bhinneka Tunggal Ika motto should be emphasized as inevitability of our nationhood with diversed ethnic groups, religions, languages, and cultures. We should remain unified, determine, and strengthen our unity and cohesion as a nation.

Indeed, we should not treat the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution as sacred pillars, since they are not. On the other hand, the idea of replacing Pancasila with other ideology, or reinstating the Preamble of the 1945 Constitution which is the spirit and soul of our constitution, will never be tolerated in our nationhood.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

For sixty two years, we have encountered trials and tribulations to our political and democracy. We have experienced and implementing liberal democracy, parliamentary democracy, guided democracy, and authoritarian-based democracy. They were all actually had their consequences. In this reform era, democracy blooms. Freedom is nurtured, and the human rights are up held. New challenge for us is how to enjoy the freedom in good manner and virtue, beneficial, as well as with responsibility. We certainly reject the idea of unlimited freedom since it could interfere with our harmonious and secured livelihood. Let us dedicate this democracy and freedom to the people's interests, and to overcome people's problems, as well as to develop people's welfare.

In the future, we have to keep developing our nationhood and statehood in harmonious and balance ways, in which democracy and freedom can live with obedience to the agreed rule of law, tolerance, ethic and rules of the game. Therefore, we can all reach the stabilised democratic life where all elements of democracy can amicably meet. We give room to freedom with responsibilities to exercise the freedom constructively. We provide room for free speech with responsibilities to apply etiquette in communication; freedom of press with responsibilities to broadcast news accurately and objectively; as well as freedom to ensemble and to express their opinion with responsibilities to exercise them in order.

Unity and sovereignty of the country is our uncompromised national interest. Effort to uphold unity and sovereignty should be done in many ways. We can use stick and carrot approaches. History showed us that problems concerning internal threat to our sovereignty were overcome in many ways and approaches. In the era of reform and democracy, we undertake peaceful and persuasive means that sustain welfare and fairness approaches. Regional aspiration for fair development distribution and wider authority to manage their region, are positively responded by implementing regional autonomy and decentralisation system, including wider autonomy for Aceh, West Papua and Papua Provinces. However, once again, the state is remain firm that there will be no tolerance to separatist that threaten the country's unity and sovereignty.

We have to be tough and flexible to face the tremendous new history, such as globalisation, with its positive and negative impacts. We cannot let ourselves to be crushed by this new history. In contrary, our nation should benefit and seize the opportunities raised by globalisation. In that matter, we have to be a leading nation, highly competitive nation , as well as creative and innovative nation. Our nation should be in the frontline in term of building the global partnership. This partnership is vital to emerge human kind from successive challenges; disparity, poverty, injustice, oppression, conflict, natural disaster, communicable disease, terrorism, climate change, and so on.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Government elected from the 2004 General Election has been functioning for three years. Since the very beginning, I have stipulated The President's Regulation Number 7/ 2005 on The National Medium-Term Development Planning (RPJM) 2004-2009. The Planning stated three national development agendas; agenda to create peaceful and secured Indonesia; agenda to create just and democratic Indonesia; and agenda to improve the people's welfare.

For the past three years, the condition we deal with is full of impediments. Various national disasters such as the Tsunami wave, earthquake, landslides, and floods have caused many casualties and material damages. The rocketing of the world oil price also heavily affected the economy. To deal with his situation, the government continues its efforts both through emergency aid, and rehabilitation on damaged facilities and infrastructures. Of course, in the implementation of the efforts there are satisfying results as well as alarming matters that need to be improved.

For instance, since the beginning, we have conducted efforts on the handling of the Sidoarjo mud flow. The Government does not sit still. The government has formed the Sidoarjo Mud Flow Prevention Task Force (BP2LS). We cannot leave the people in pain and must abruptly ease the people's mourn wholeheartedly. The government puts serious attention to this particular issue. Based on the current report which I received, the settlement of the buying and selling of land and buildings at the amount of 20% at the beginning phase has gone well and shall assure that the outstanding of the payments shall be carried out in accordance with the Presidential Regulation Number 14 of 2007. However, the Government shall continuously cooperate with every party, domestic or international, to avoid the mud flow expansion.

The internal security condition, including the public security and order has been gradually increased. The situation in Poso and Maluku has been restored with a strong social cohesion. The post-conflict reintegration in Aceh is also peaceful and sustainable. It is natural to learn that there still some constraints and misunderstandings between parties which used to be in conflict for more than 30 years, due to the on going of the trust building effort. All parties especially government in Aceh needs to keep guarding, securing, and succeeding the reintegration process together with reconstruction of Aceh after the Tsunami Wave to reach a better economic condition and people's welfare.

Also in the land of Papua, we have constantly carried out development acceleration to improve the West Papuan and Papuan People's welfare. To mark the determination of the government and to excel the prosperity of the people from both provinces, I have issued the Presidential Instruction No. 5/ 2007 (Inpres No. 5/2007) on the acceleration of West Papuan and Papuan Provinces' developments. The development is given priority to: solidifying food resilience and enhancing community-based economy, qualified health and education services, expanding basic infrastructures for potentially developed region, and special regulation for sons of Papua.

I urge regional government apparatus with their authority and natural resources based on the regulation on special autonomy, to stand in front and support the development acceleration. The Central Government remains highly committed to maintain and assist the effort of increasing the Papuan People's welfare. This is our steps and commitments to improve Papua and West Papua. I reiterate that the Government will not tolerate anyone, either domestic or from international community, who intend to hinder the development acceleration in the land of Papua, as well as threaten the unity and sovereignty of our country.

Act of terrorism which alarmed the community few years back has been overcome. We have succeeded in preventing and deterring acts of terror in our country. People's trust to the law enforcement and security apparatus is increasing. We need to show our appreciation to the Indonesian Police Force and other supporting parties in overcoming this terrorism threat. As I frequently mentioned, in the future, combating terrorism will not be superficial but will also touch and address the root cause of terrorism, such as backwardness, poverty, injustice, extremism, radicalism, and violence culture. We are deeply serious to prevent and to combat this terrorism, in order to save our nation and community, to present security and peace in our country as well as our responsibility and togetherness to global community to create peaceful and secured world.

My Fellow Countrymen,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

Success of a development also depends on the quality of the administration order as well as effectiveness and the performance of the bureaucracy. Therefore, to improve the performance of the bureaucracy and to create good and clean governance, gradual and planned bureaucracy reform is carried out by the government. Such reform embraces the balanced improvement of the work system, performance measurement, and discipline implementation as well as remuneration. On this level, the reform process has started being carried out by the Department of Finance, the State Ministry of Administrative Reform, the Supreme Court, as well as the Audit Board.

In the implementation of foreign policy, we have continually developed partnership through total diplomacy. This past few years, we have developed and enhanced partnership with may countries, with the intention to support our national interest. In the framework of strategic partnership or comprehensive partnership, we have improving our cooperation and partnership with many countries, among others South Korea, People's Republic of Tiongkok, Australia, Rusia, Japan and India. Tangible result coming out of such partnership development are the advancement of quality and quantity of cooperation in trade, investment, energy, tourism, legal, natural disaster management and mitigation, bird flu cases, information technology, defense industry, forestry, etc.

Toward the implementation of free and active foreign policy, we are always aiming in building partnership through total diplomacy. We have signed comprehensive collaboration with Australia which can be served as cooperation umbrella in politics, security, economy, and social culture. We also have joint statement with India on enhancing ‘The New Strategic Partnership'. With Singapore, we have signed extradition agreement. In the effort to alleviate constraint related to nuclear proliferation threat in Iran, we support The UN Security Council's Resolution No. 1747/2007 as continuation of previous resolution. Reasons in supporting the Resolution are based on ‘The Preamble of The 1945 Constitution' which stated our involvement in world peace, and related to the recommendation of ‘The International Atomic and Energy Agency' on uranium enrichment by Iran. The Resolution is considered balance in its effort to eradicate nuclear weapon by nuclear power states, as a recommendation to create free zone for weapons of mass-destruction in Middle East and to ensure that all nations' rights including Iran are merely to develop nuclear energy for peace. It is our proposal to push forward any discussion on the matter in good faith through diplomacy and in order to prevent open conflicts.

To support the efforts of the peace process and conflict resolution in the Middle East Conflict, we have been actively involved in various diplomacy means to overcome the problems in the middle east especially in the Palestine, Lebanon, and iraq, in a peaceful, just, and permanent manners. Beside sending our troops ‘Kontingen Garuda 23A', to join the UN Peace keeping Mission in Lebanon, we also extend our humanitarian aid to our brothers and sisters in Palestine and Lebanon. As one of the UN Non-permanent Member at the Security Council, Indonesia will play a constructive role based on active and free foreign policy, in order to uphold world peace and security. In principle, Indonesia suggests and calls upon the use of non military and peaceful means in ending various global conflict and issues including Iran Nuclear issue, North Korea Nuclear issue and other critical issues.

In connection with global issues, the Government places great attention to environmental issues, particularly the climate change that causes global warming. Global warming is indeed our shared problem. On 3 – 14 December 2007, God willing, we are entrusted to be the host of a conference on United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will be attended by 180 countries. As the host, we are eager to show the international world, that the Government of Indonesia shows concern and ideas to save humankind from the impacts of global climate change. We also desire for the birth of new ideas, after Kyoto Protocol, which is more just and acceptable for all.

The efforts to improve the nation's welfare and to manage our economy are embodied in the development strategy of increased economic growth with equity. This strategy is the best possible choice, because higher economic growth does not guarantee equity. The growth that we will achieve should be of good quality. To that end, the Government constantly strive to balance all policies and measures between the requirement to promote growth and to improve welfare distribution.

We have achieved many things during the past decade, mostly to strengthen the economic fundamentals after the economic crisis. Economic stability has been safeguarded. At the end of June 2007, our foreign exchange reserves amounted to USD 50.9 billion, an increase of USD 8.3 billion compared to the end of 2006. The exchange rate has been maintained within the range that is considered favourable for economic practitioners. The banking sector has been able to attain a healthy balance sheet and continue to resume the mediating role to support the revival of our economy. Tangible sector has shown rebound momentum. The transportation and telecommunication sectors grew by 11.6 percent during the first semester of 2007, during the same period the construction sector grew by 8.6 percent, even the processing industry sector was stronger with 5.4 percent growth. Government budget has become more robust with decreasing debt ratio from 47 percent in 2005 to around 35.4 percent of the Gross Domestic Product in 2007.

Admittedly, not all our problems have been overcome and challenges will continue to thwart us. Unemployment and poverty have not been fully addressed. Many more health and education facilities are needed. Roads, airports, seaports, power, and irrigation infrastructures have been deteriorating and neglected since the crisis. These things entail high cost for the people and our economy.
