The Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard meets Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono today during her first official visit to Jakarta since taking office. The talks are likely to touch on economic and security issues, as well as Gillard's ambitious plans to establish a regional asylum-seeker processing centre in Timor Leste. Indonesia is a major transit hub for people trying to reach Australia by boat and Gillard has said an offshore centre with regional cooperation is the best way to stop the smugglers behind the undocumented migration.
