| Australia and Indonesia on Tuesday agreed to work more closely to crack down on people-smuggling, with visiting President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono saying his people were victims of the trade as well.
Talks between Mr Yudhoyono and Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Darwin have focused on the issue of boatpeople coming to Australia, mostly via transit ports in Indonesia, after scores drowned en route in recent weeks.
'In the field of preventing or combating people-smuggling and also human trafficking we have agreed to enhance greater cooperation,' Mr Yudhoyono told reporters.
'Indonesia is also a victim of the acts of illegal people smuggling. We hope that we can prevent, as far as possible, the act of people-smuggling in our region.'
