JAKARTA — Indonesia said Thursday it drove a Chinese coast guard vessel from contested waters in the South China Sea twice in recent days, the latest move
by a Southeast Asian nation against Beijing’s actions in the strategic waterway.
Chinese vessels have occasionally entered Indonesia-claimed areas of the North Natuna Sea at the southern edge of the South China Sea, drawing protests from Jakarta.“The China Coast Guard ship re-entered the Indonesian jurisdiction in the North Natuna Sea on Wednesday,” Indonesia’s Maritime Security Agency said in a statement Thursday.
The ship was “disturbing the activity of a survey” being conducted by state-owned oil company Pertamina, it said.Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian told a regular press briefing Thursday that its coast guard vessels carried out “routine patrols in waters under China’s jurisdiction in accordance with international and domestic law”.
He said Beijing was “willing to strengthen communication and consultation with Indonesia” on maritime issues through their diplomatic channels. Huge, unexploited oil and gas deposits are believed to lie under the South China Sea’s seabed, though estimates vary greatly.
