Harmony with E. Timor beneficial: Lopez

JAKARTA: Indonesia would reap more benefit in the future
should it decide to cooperate harmoniously with East Timor
instead of constantly being at odds with its former territory,
the Indonesian ambassador for Greece said here on Monday.

Lopez Da Cruz, an East Timor descendant, who is currently
serving as Indonesian ambassador told reporters at the State
Palace that Indonesia could benefit East Timor's support in the
United Nations when it needs to pursue a certain issue in the
future.

However, the government should asses the private assets of
Indonesian nationals in the tiny territory and returned to the
respective owners.--JP
