"So far there has been no crucial information (released by Wikileaks) that needs to be responded to because Indonesia’s relations with China remain good," presidential spokesman Julian Aldrin Pasha said here on Thursday.
Julian made the statement after accompanying President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at a ceremony marking the graduation of Police Academy cadets here. The most important thing at present, according to Julian, was to maintain good communication between the Indonesian government and a number of countries which were mentioned in the documents disclosed by Wikileaks.
"We believe the governments of Indonesia and China continue to maintain direct and friendly communication," Julian said. Meanwhile, Communications and Informatics Minister Tifatul Sembiring said in Jakarta recently that the controversial Wikileaks revelations contained 3,059 data about Indonesia.
"We found 3,059 data about Indonesia in the Wikileaks site after I was asked by the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs to monitor it," Tifatul Sembiring said.
He said his ministry was still collecting more data about Indonesia but it would take some more time as the Wikileaks site was releasing it piecemeal, he said. The ministry should continue monitoring the Wikileaks site although the data about Indonesia was small in number compared to the 250,000 data it is reported to have on many countries in the world, he said.
Among the data the ministry had already gleaned from the Wilkileaks site so far was about the J.W Marriot bombing incidents, unrest in Papua, and the Indonesian military, he said. Previously, Tifatul and Foreign Affairs Minister Marty Natalegawa had been instructed by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Joko Suyanto to access the Wilkileaks site and monitor any information it was disclosing about Indonesia.
