elu Deputy Regent Lodovikus Taolin said that Indonesia and Timor Leste would work to uphold law enforcement along the border of the two countries in Belu regency.
'Representatives from Timor Leste National Police (PNTL) have come to talk about law enforcement at the border between the two countries,' regent Lodovikus said as quoted by by Antara news agency on Thursday.
He added that how to deal with illegal immigrants and smuggling would be worked out during discussions.
He also said that other issues, like the relationship between Indonesia and Timor Leste, would be part of the talks.
Lodovikus acknowledged that tension between the two countries at the border always occurred but he considered the overall situation as 'conducive' because those problems were solvable.
Meanwhile, Timor Leste President Leste Taur Matan Ruak is scheduled to meet with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on June 21 to talk about trade between the two countries.
The volume of trade between Indonesia and Timor Leste has increased over the last few years. (hrl)
