<\/p>\nReuters reported on the 24th that Indonesian Finance Minister Pulbaya Judi Sadwa said on the same day that Indonesia has no intention to charge tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Malacca.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Local time, 22, Sadwa has openly discussed how to charge tolls on ships to achieve the strait of Malacca\u201cCash.\u201d. According to Indonesia’s\u201cJakarta Globe\u201d reported that Sadwa 22, said at an infrastructure seminar, put forward the idea, is inspired by Iran’s decision to charge for shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. A similar initiative in the Strait of Malacca could create considerable economic value, but it would have to be pursued in a coordinated manner by the three countries bordering the strait: Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, he said. \u201cIf we triangulate the benefits, it could be quite substantial,\u201d he added<\/p>\n
On the evening of the 22nd, Sadwa changed his tune, stressing that Indonesia would not charge ships passing through the Strait of Malacca. Indonesian Foreign Minister Sugiyono also said on the 23rd that Indonesia has no intention to impose tolls on the Strait of Malacca, and stressed that relevant policies must conform to the framework of the international law of the sea.<\/p>\n
Even so, the proposal still caused public concern. Malaysia’s foreign minister Mohammed said on the 23rd that the Strait of Malacca will continue to maintain the existing freedom of navigation, and that any fee proposal could disrupt global trade and endanger international relations, the decision can not be made unilaterally by any one country. Singapore’s foreign minister has stressed that the Strait of Malacca must be open to all ships. The Strait of Malacca, the world’s largest maritime trading hub, carries a quarter of the world’s crude oil and handles about 24m barrels of oil and gas a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
