STATEMENT AND CONDOLENCE LETTER 
 
REF: EMBASSY JAKARTA-S/ES-O TELCON DECEMBER 11 
 
JAKARTA 00002232  001.2 OF 002 
 
 
1.  (U) This is an Action Request.  Please see paras 6-7. 
 
2.  (U) SUMMARY:  Former Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali 
Alatas died of a heart attack in the early morning of 
Thursday, December 11, 2008.  A seminal figure in the history 
of Asian diplomacy, Alatas will be buried early on December 
12, 2008, in Jakarta.  The Ambassador will attend the funeral 
and recommends that the Secretary issue a statement hailing 
Alatas's achievements and send a letter of condolence to FM 
Wirajuda.  Suggested text for these messages follow.  END 
SUMMARY. 
 
A SEMINAL FIGURE 
 
3.  (U) Former FM Ali Alatas died of a heart attack in a 
Singapore hospital early December 11.  He will be buried in 
an official ceremony on December 12 at the National Heroes' 
Cemetery in Jakarta.  Ambassador Hume plans to attend the 
funeral.  Alatas was 76 years of age and is survived by his 
wife and three children.  The GOI has not yet announced plans 
for any additional memorial service. 
 
4.  (U) Alatas served as FM from 1988 until 1999 and played a 
key role managing Indonesia's foreign relations.  He led 
Indonesia's establishment of diplomatic relations with the 
People's Republic of China in 1989.  He also successfully 
helped broker the 1991 Cambodia peace accord.  Alatas also 
managed what was perhaps Indonesia's most difficult foreign 
policy challenge--the independence of East Timor.  He 
provided a steady hand in foreign policy during the 
uncertainty that accompanied the fall of Suharto. 
 
5.  (U) After he left office, Alatas remained active in 
foreign affairs.  He served as President Yudhoyono's Special 
Envoy on Burma and pressed the regime to undertake democratic 
reforms, and to release political prisoners.  He served on 
the ASEAN Eminent Persons Group and was one of the GOI's 
foremost advisers on ASEAN and Indonesia's bilateral 
relations with its Southeast Asian neighbors. 
 
ACTION REQUESTS 
 
6.  (U) The Ambassador recommends that the Secretary issue a 
statement.  Suggested text for this statement follows:

Death of Former Indonesian Foreign Minister Ali Alatas 
 
Statement by Secretary Condoleezza Rice 
Washington, DC 
December 11, 2008 
 
The people of the United States and the world join 
Indonesians in mourning the death of former Foreign Minister 
Ali Alatas.  He will be remembered for his tireless efforts 
to ensure peace and security in Southeast Asia.  He brokered 
the historic 1991 Cambodian peace settlement and helped lead 
ASEAN's effort to enshrine the values of democracy and 
respect for human rights in the organization's Charter.  Ali 
Alatas was a friend of the United States and he provided wise 
leadership amid the uncertainties of those historic months a 
decade ago when Indonesia rejected authoritarian rule and 
embraced democracy.  On behalf of the United States, I extend 
my deepest condolences to his family and to the people of 
Indonesia at this time of loss. 
 
End text of statement. 
 
7.  (U)  Mission further recommends that the Secretary also 
send a condolence message to Foreign Minister Wirajuda. 
Proposed text for the Secretary's letter follows: 
 
JAKARTA 00002232  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
 
Begin text of letter: 
 
Dear Mr. Minister, 
 
On behalf of the United States, I want to express our deepest 
sympathy on the death of former Foreign Minister Ali Alatas. 
 
Ali Alatas worked tirelessly to promote our shared values of 
freedom, democracy and respect for human rights.  He 
safeguarded Indonesia's place in the world and provided wise 
leadership during Indonesia's transition to democracy.  He 
fought for democracy and justice in Burma.  Finally, Ali 
Alatas was a great friend of the United States and promoted 
people-to-people ties between our two countries. 
 
Please convey my sincere condolences to his many friends and 
colleagues in Indonesia and, most of all, to his family. 
 
Sincerely, 
Condoleezza Rice
