Indonesia and the Netherlands will discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral
cooperation on the rule of law and security during a meeting in Jakarta this
week involving key representatives of the two countries, the Dutch Embassy said
on Monday (15/01).
Indonesia
and the Netherlands have over several years forged cooperation in these fields
in various ways, including capacity building for new judges, joint research,
technical training and exchanges, according to a statement issued by the
embassy.
The
meeting, titled 2018 Indonesia-Netherlands Rule of Law and Security Update,
will take place on Wednesday and Thursday.
It seeks to
highlight what the two countries have achieved together, but also identify ways
"to further strengthen and develop mutual collaboration for the years to
come."
National
Development Planning Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro, Marine Affairs and
Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, Supreme Court Chief Justice Hatta Ali and
Maarten Feteris, president of the Dutch Supreme Court, will participate in the
meeting, which will also be attended by representatives from government,
academia, civil society and independent state institutions in both countries.
According
to Hatta, collaboration between Indonesia and the Netherlands is both important
and strategic, especially since their legal systems share common roots. In
addition, an equal partnership will also be necessary to improve the quality
and effectiveness of Indonesia's judicial system.
Indonesia
was colonized by the Dutch for more than 300 years and the country therefore
has the same legal system, with some laws dating back to the colonial era.
