Talks deadlock
Indonesia and Vietnam have failed to agree on delineating the boundary between the two countries in the oil and gas-rich South China Sea at a week-long meeting in Jakarta. An Indonesian Foreign Ministry announcement said the two sides had agreed to have another meeting, the seventh, in Hanoi. The talks are believed to be deadlocked over Vietnam’s insistence on using the Thalweg principles — setting the boundary lines along the deepest part of the waters separating the two countries. Indonesia favours a straightforward division of the waters between the two countries measured from the outermost points. —Jakarta.
