Julie Bishop meets Marty Natelegawa to restore relations between Indonesia and Australia When all was well: Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop meets her Indonesian counterpart, Marty Natalegawa, in September. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has agreed Australia will adhere to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's six-point roadmap to restore relations between the two countries, and also to set up a "hotline" to manage the details of Indonesia's withdrawal of co-operation. Ms Bishop brought a high-level delegation of bureaucrats and advisers to meet Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natelegawa on Thursday, to begin, in her words, to "restore the relationship" after damage caused by phone-tapping revelations. Ms Bishop flew to Jakarta on the way to Beijing, to talk with Mr Natalegawa. The talks were part of Dr Yudhoyono's first step on the roadmap - discussing "sensitive issues on bilateral relations post-revelation of this tapping issue." Ms Bishop committed the government for the first time to Dr Yudhoyono's six-point plan, which involves negotiating and testing a "code of conduct" by which the bilateral relationship - including intelligence gathering - would work in future. Mr Natalegawa said he had spoken to the President immediately after the bilateral meeting and they would decide if Australia had done enough to fulfil the first step of disclosing "sensitive issues." The second step involves the negotiation of the code itself. Ms Bishop described this as a "joint understanding" to encapsulate the principles of the Lombok Treaty, signed by the two governments in 2006, in which they agreed to respect each others' territorial integrity. Mr Natalegawa described the meetings - the first lengthy discussion with Ms Bishop alone and the second with broader groups of advisers - as open and constructive. Asked if he was satisfied that he had received a full explanation of past spying activities, Mr Natalegawa said: "We discussed almost everything about the incidents that brought us to this situation." In the meantime, the bans against co-operation with Australia in police, military and intelligence fields remain in place and will do so until the six conditions outlined by Dr Yudhoyono have been fulfilled. The parties agreed to set up a hotline between the two ministers' offices to iron out any technical issues that arise involving the bans on bilateral co-operation. Mr Natalegawa also left it open for Indonesian ambassador Nadjib Riphat Kesoema to return to Canberra, saying it would be done when "it's in our best interests." However, he reiterated that: "The ball is always on the Australian side, the steps are clear ... to rebuild mutual trust." Ms Bishop reiterated the government's "regret" at "events that led to this situation" and the "hurt caused to President Yudhoyono and the Indonesian people." She amplified Mr Abbott's vow not to harm Indonesian interests, saying specifically that Australian intelligence assets would not be used in this way. Ms Bishop came to the meeting with a high-powered delegation which included the head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and a former head of the Office of National Assessments, Peter Varghese; head of Defence Dennis Richardson and Prime Minister Tony Abbott's national security adviser, Andrew Shearer. After negotiating a protocol, the third step of the six is for Dr Yudhoyono to consider the protocol and endorse it; the fourth for it to be signed by the two leaders. The fifth step is implementing the protocol with "time to allow for evaluation that is has been implemented." Step six is: "Re-establishment and revival of a sense of trust before we can proceed to look at the bilateral co-operations."
