In response to media queries on Indonesian Minister for Foreign Affairs Hassan Wirajuda's remarks that the Indonesian and Singapore governments had agreed to put aside the Defence Cooperation Agreement indefinitely, the MFA Spokesman said:

"We respect the Indonesian government's decision to put aside the two agreements for now. We are aware of the complex dynamics of Indonesia's domestic debate over the Extradition Treaty (ET) and Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA), and that the Indonesian government may need more time before tabling the two agreements to parliament for ratification.

Singapore remains fully committed to the agreement between Prime Minister Lee and President Yudhoyono in October 2005 to conclude the ET and DCA as a package. We also remain fully committed to the package of the ET, DCA and its associated four Implementing Arrangements which was agreed to by the two governments on 23 April 2007."
