JAKARTA: Indonesia will not compromise on its sovereignty in the South China Sea amid the recent sighting of foreign fishing vessels near the Natuna Islands, which lie between Malaysia and Borneo, President Joko Widodo said.

Speaking at a plenary cabinet session in Jakarta Monday, Jokowi, as Widodo is known, said the increased presence of Chinese ships in the disputed waters since December was a violation of international law. He said in a statement posted on the cabinet secretariat website there would be"no negotiation when it comes to our sovereignty.”

"This is our sovereign right,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said after the cabinet meeting, urging all foreign countries and the likes of China or even Australia to comply with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea."Indonesia will never recognise nine dash lines or unilateral claims made by China that do not have legal reasons recognised by international law.”
