Indonesian President Warns Aussie Prime Minister Over Trade Warning.

Australia's Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, has been over in Indonesia for talks on matters between the two countries. During these talks, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono forced the issue of Australia's Travel Warnings against Indonesia.

It appears that President Yudhoyono is unhappy with the travel warnings. After all, it was over 2 years ago since many, many Australians were killed in the Bali bombings. Representatives of the Indonesian government later denied claims that President Yudhoyono said any such thing, claiming an interpreter's interpretation error as the culprit.

The travel warning hasn't seemed to deter all Australian tourists from travel to the country, with reports of well over 100,000 travelling there last year.

All in all, I believe President Yudhoyono really should not have forced the issue of travel warnings the way he did, maybe privately with Kevin Rudd would have been more becoming.
