Excell ency,

Address by th~ Minister for Mines, Prof. Dr. Sumantri

Brodjonegoro, on the signing of the Agreement on the

~stablishment of ascertaining sea-bed boundaries between

Australia and Indonesia, on May 18, 1971.

It is a great pleasure for me to be here in ~stralia today, to have the

honour of signing the Agreement on the establishment of certain sea-bed boundaries

between the Commonwealth of Australia and the Republic of Indonesia, which includes boundaries in areas adjacent to Papua New Guinea and West Irian.

'

Australia and Indonesia,

as

~

two

close neighb6hring countries in this area of the world, have now embarked upon another milestone in the history of their friendly

bilateral relationship, as it was evident by the si'gning of this Agreement which will

serve as a valuable instrument for both coqntries.

This Agreement which was initially suggested in an informal discussion between

the Right Honourable 'William McMahon - Prime Minister former Minister for Foreign Affairs,

and myself in December

1969,

was received with a direct and favourable response by the Australian Government, resulting in talks and negotiations which were conducted in a very

cordial atmosphere, with ample accommodation and understanding between the two parties.

Indonesia is at the moment endeavouring to attain a higher stan~ard of living

through the implementation of the five year development plan. Therefore, this

Agreement, which we have just signed, will enable both countries to exploit and make use of the available resources for the benefit and the prosperity of our respective

peoples, and at the same time will eliminate any possible friction which might arise

with respect to the exploration and exploitation of sea-bed resources.

Regarding pending issues with respect to other s·ea-bed boundaries further

discussions will be conducted, in the spirit of better understanding and closer

co-operation until we reach a mutual agreement.

Australia's increasing interest and positive orientation towards the countries

in her immediate vicinity have met with a most favourable response in Indonesia. We

also believe that Australia has a far greater role to play and a much more substantial contribution to offer to the common prosperity, peace and stability in this area of the world.

Excellency,

Allow me, on this memorable occasion, to express on behalf of the Indonesian Government, my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the assistance extended by you and your staff in the preparation of thi's important document.

May this Agreement, signed today, be conducive to the establishment of further closer co-operation and the cementing of firmer friendship between Australia and Indonesia.
