Australian, Indonesian Ministers Meet to Repair Ties

A long-awaited meeting between Australian and Indonesian ministers began Thursday in Canberra with the aim of getting the bilateral relationship back on track after it soured during the East Timor crisis last year.

The two-day forum bringing together nine Australian and five Indonesian ministers is the most wide-ranging high-level bilateral meeting to be held since Australia led international troops into the former Indonesian territory last year during its struggle for independence.
