February 29th, 2016More pressingly, China’s claims in the South China Sea overlap with waters claimed by Indonesia around the Natuna islands, off the northern coast of Borneo, which are rich in natural-gas deposits. Ms Retno insists the islands “belong to Indonesia. Done. If there is a competing claim, come talk to us.” She says Indonesia wants to develop the regional gasfields.
