JAKARTA INTERNATIONAL DEFENSE DIALOGUE 2014 (JIDD 2014)
Jakarta Convention Center, March 2014
Following the successful of the carrying out of last year’s JIDD
(JIDD2013), the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Indonesia supported by
Indonesian Defense University (IDU) will organize the Jakarta International
Defense Dialogue 2014 (JIDD2014) on March 2014. Variably to the previous JIDD,
the JIDD2014 will bring one of the world’s hottest issue, namely Maritime
Securities with a primary aim to build maritime collaboration for securiy and
stability.
As known, maritime security is an important issue that needs a
cooperation amongst agencies, regional states, and the world because of the
difficulty to regulate the ships movement on the open sea. Not one state can
handle maritime security issues alone. Therefore, it is required a
comprehensive cooperation in order to enhance the maritime capabilities in
facing the challenges to secure the maritime domain.
A security cooperation in maritime domain is not only for guarding the
national interest but also for making the world more secure from anything
harmful that comes from maritime domain. Rooted from this sincere notion, the
topics will be presented and discussed in the JIDD2014 are as follow.
a.. The development of Indo-Pacific geopolitical concept and its
strategic implications. This topic mainly speaks about the concept regarding
Indo-Pacific geopolitical related to maritime securities in the growing and
challenging world. This topic consists of three main issues, namely:
a.. The new geopolitical concept of Indo-Pacific.
b.. New approach to defining the geopolitical concept of
Indo-Pacific.
c.. Strategic implications of the new Indo-Pacific geopolitical
concept.
a.. Contested waters and efforts to address them. This topic is always
a hot issue from time to time especially to the claimant states and therefore,
it will become an interest topic to be discussed. This topic also consists of
three issues as follow.
a.. Maritime territorial disputes, including prominent cases like the
South China Sea.
b.. Legalities of maritime territory, sovereignty, and the sea.
c.. “Zones of cooperation” and maritime diplomacy.
a.. International cooperation in facing the non-traditional threats to
maritime security. As seen on the infomation media, non-traditional threats
become vulnerable as the consequences of world dynamics. This topic is a very
important discussion to the states that have sea borders. The issues raised in
this topic include:
a.. Case studies and lessons from recent trends of non-traditional
threats to maritime security, including the issues of refugees, piracy, money
laundering, and trafficking.
b.. International cooperation in maritime border patrol on preventing
non-traditional threats to maritime security while complying with international
law.
c.. International cooperation in increasing maritime capabilities to
counter non-traditional threats.
a.. Maritime forces modernization and stability. The main problem in
securing the maritime domain is a strong maritime force faced to the maritime
jurisdiction that has to be covered and the development as well as the use of
new technologies. This topic will be an interesting topic for the states that
use maritime domain as the source for the sustainable living of their state as
well as their people. This topic covers issues as follow.
a.. Current military balance on maritime forces among countries.
b.. New technologies that might be useful for maritime security and
stability.
c.. Operational implications of the use of new technologies for
modernization of maritime forces.
a.. UNCLOS and evolving maritime geo-strategy. Maritime, for some
states, has a great impact to not only their people but also the strength
factor to their economy, and this always raises uncomfortable situations
especially if they have a very good diplomatic relationship. One of the
solution to situation like this is to develop a robust regulation backed up by
a strong international law. It is foreseen that the issues raised in this
topic will give rise to a new insight of international maritime law to enrich
the content of the UNCLOS for the better world. The issues raised are as
follow.
a.. The current maritime geo-strategy across security, trade and
economy, migration, natural resource management and competition, and
international law.
b.. Strategic implications of trends in maritime geo-strategy to the
UNCLOS.
The JIDD2014 invites Head of States/Head of Government, Minister of
Defense, and Chief of Defense Forces from at least 50 states that include ASEAN
states, neighboring states especially that have sea borders with Indonesia,
some representative states from African continent, states that have
cooperations with Indonesian Defense Universities, and states that have big
enthusiasm to attend the JIDD2014, according to the last JIDD. This event also
invited international organizations such International Maritime Organization
(IMO), a maritime regulator under United Nations, European Union (EU), and
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The speakers in each topic will be selected officials and experts who
come from various backgrounds from foreigns as well as Indonesia. Speakers
from Indonesia include the Chief of Defense Forces, the Chief of Staff of
Indonesian Navy, experts from selected famous national universities and
research centers as well as from Indonesian Defense University.
The same as the last year event, the JIDD2014 will be held at Jakarta
Convention Center, Jakarta, Indonesia, in the first week of March 2014
tentatively.

Minister for Defence – Jakarta International Defence Dialogue a success
21 March 2014
Minister for Defence, Senator David Johnston has praised the Indonesian
Government for hosting a “very successful” international defence summit in
Jakarta.
Senator Johnston made the comments at the end of two days of what he
described as “very productive” talks and discussions with senior Indonesian
officials and foreign defence heads during the Jakarta International Defence
Dialogue (JIDD) which ended today.
“The Jakarta dialogue was very well attended by regional countries
including by our friends from ASEAN, the United States and European countries,”
Senator Johnston said.
“I should stress, the Australian delegation I led was received with first
class hospitality – we were warmly welcomed by our Indonesian hosts.
“The interactions between defence officials and ministers were
substantive, all in all this was a very successful occasion to catch up and
discuss contemporary defence topics.”
Senator Johnston described talks with his Indonesian counterpart,
Professor Purnomo Yusgiantoro, as “very friendly, cordial and substantive.”
They covered a range of bilateral defence issues and ongoing military
cooperation including the transfer of C-130H transport aircraft, personnel
exchanges and Bushmaster armoured vehicle sales.
“Pak Purnomo and I discussed a range of important regional, bilateral and
global issues. They included other areas where our Defence-to-Defence relations
are strong including the so called ‘2+2’ talks. Pak Purnomo and I are both keen
for those talks to go ahead and we are now looking for a mutually convenient
date,” Senator Johnston said.
On the sidelines of the summit, Senator Johnston also met with the Prime
Minister of Timor Leste Kay Rala Xanana Gusmao and expressed Australia’s
continuing support for East Timor’s defence force, known by its Portuguese
acronym – F-FDTL.
The issue of Timorese border security was raised during talks lasting 40
minutes. During the meeting, Prime Minister Gusmao expressed concern about the
impact of illegal fishing on his nation’s economy.
