Indonesia favours consultation on boats

INDONESIA has again rejected unilateral action by an Australia government on asylum seeker boats, saying more consultation on the issue is needed.

Indonesian Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro was in Perth on Friday to meet his counterpart Stephen Smith.

Asked if Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had flagged with Indonesia the Liberal's plan to turn back boats where it was safe to do so, Dr Yusgiantoro said solutions required discussions.

"We should talk, we should discuss," he told reporters.

"But we don't want to see unilateral action."

Dr Yusgiantoro would not say whether he preferred Labor's plan to resettle processed asylum seekers in Papua New Guinea over the coalition plan because it was an Australian domestic issue.

He also said invitations had been sent to the governments of Australia, New Zealand, Iran, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand to attend a special conference on asylum seekers in Jakarta on August 20.
