Indonesia wants Australia’s acquisition of nuclear-propelled submarines to be monitored tightly by the United Nations watchdog, saying it is taking “a very serious interest” because its waters will be passed by such vessels.
Indonesia’s proposal for stricter regulations around the sharing of nuclear material to fuel submarines is being supported by Malaysia, according to Tri Tharyat, the director general for multilateral cooperation at Indonesia’s foreign ministry. Indonesia’s submission to the conference was made in the same week that President Joko Widodo met with China leader Xi Jinping.
Tharyat even suggested there were “pros and cons” to plans by nuclear non-weapon states Australia and Brazil to get nuclear-propelled submarines. Brazil is developing a nuclear-powered submarine with France’s Naval Group, the company that Australia tore up a $90 billion deal with last year in a decision that at the time damaged bilateral relations with Paris.
