STORYLINE:
Indonesia and China said Monday they had committed to maritime cooperation promoting safety and security in the South China Sea, amid longstanding suspicions about China’s actions in waters controlled by Jakarta.
The sides agreed to a series of mechanisms for cooperation in fields from infrastructure building, minerals development and joint security.
The last is most significant because of Indonesia’s concerns about Chinese development near the Natuna island group in the South China Sea, which Beijing claims virtually in its entirety.
Such disputes have raised fears of a larger conflict that could put China and the U.S. on a collision course.
