President Jokowi: There is no bargaining over Natuna

The Indonesian government expressed a firm stance in responding to tensions in Natuna waters due to the presence of Chinese ships.

President Joko Widodo stated that there was no bargaining regarding Indonesian Sovereignty in Natuna, Riau Islands.
This statement was made by President Joko Widodo when chairing a plenary cabinet meeting at the State Palace.

The President stated that there was no bargaining regarding the territorial and territorial sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI).

Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Binsar Panjaitan ensured that there would be no compromise when it came to the sovereignty of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia. Issues related to the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) must be resolved. Including the ongoing polemic in Natuna waters due to China's unilateral claims and fish theft.

Luhut added that the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) regulates economic matters rather than state sovereignty and the government has no desire to negotiate regarding territorial boundaries.
