Jakarta: Indonesia described reports that Australia had listened in on government trade discussions as outrageous. Jakarta is upset at reports that Australia wire-tapped the phones of top Indonesian officials including the president and his wife. “To suggest that the future of shrimp exports by Indonesia to the United States has an impact on Australian security is a little too much and begs some serious questions as to what it’s all about,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said at a joint press conference with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Jakarta.
