Australia gives top award to Indonesian president
Australia awarded Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono its highest civilian honour on Tuesday ahead of thorny negotiations on border security and a free trade pact now dragging for more than three years. "President Yudhoyono is a true friend of Australia. President Yudhoyono has also been a champion of democracy and of economic development for the people of Indonesia," Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said announcing the Order of Australia award for the former general. Yudhoyono began a three-day visit to Canberra for talks on expanding the A$9.3 billion ($8.4 billion) two-way trade relationship and slowing an influx of asylum seekers using Indonesian ports as a jumping off point and hurting Rudd's popularity at home in an election year.
