Speaking in Jakarta on Monday, Tharyat said the AUKUS nations had originally challenged Indonesia’s proposal.
“Initially, their position was against [the proposal] but they agreed that safety is the main issue, safeguards are also an important point and that the process should be carried out in a transparent and inclusive manner,” he said.
