Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda said on May 14 that Indonesia had not offered to host the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit with dialogue partners which was canceled by Thailand last week.
Indonesia had never made the offer, neither to ASEAN Secretary General Surin Pitsuwan nor to other ASEAN member countries, Minister Hassan Wirajuda was quoted by Antara news agency as saying.
“It's not true that we have offered (to host the ASEAN summit) but it's true that we, like other ASEAN members, have an interest on it,” he said.
Indonesia is still in the process of discussing the matter with related parties, he added./.
