The Indonesian government has issued a statement declaring that it does not expect any visit to Indonesia by Taiwanese "president" Chen Shui-bian.

The statement said that the government of Indonesia, having established no diplomatic relations with Chinese Taipei, does not expect any visit by any political figure from Chinese Taipei, and that it rejects any claim that a planned visit by Chen Shui-bien to Indonesia is being officially arranged.

"The government of Indonesia is fully aware that a possible visit of individuals for touristic purposes can take place at any time, as Indonesia never closes the possibilities for people to people contacts with Chinese Taipei. However, it should never be manipulated into possibilities for a veiled visit by high ranking officials that can be exploited for political or diplomatic interests," said the statement dated December 13.

It said that the Indonesian government is also aware that the so-called "vacation diplomacy" has been done by the authorities in Chinese Taipei, in other occasions and in other places, to advance their political and diplomatic agenda.

It declared in the end that the government of Indonesia consistently adheres to its "One China Policy" and has long recognized Chinese Taipei as an integral part of the People's Republic of China, and therefore, consistently maintains no official contacts with Chinese Taipei.
