Everything about Ali Alatas totally explained
Ali Alatas (born
Jakarta,
4 November 1932) is an
Indonesian
diplomat of
Hadhrami descent, who served as the country's
foreign minister.
During the time of Indonesian rule in
East Timor, Alatas was the most recognizable face with foreign media. At times, even appearing smug in his press conferences and interviews regarding the issue of the occupied territory, claiming that it was a "domestic issue". On
10 February,
1997, the website for his Foreign Affairs Ministry was defaced by
Portuguese hackers, writing (in Portuguese): "Welcome to the Fascist Republic of Indonesia", with a picture of Alatas giving the
middle finger. The defacement was done in protest to the occupation of East Timor.
In
2003, Alatas was appointed as the
United Nations special envoy. He arrived in
Myanmar on
18 August 2005 for a three-day-visit to negotiate the release of
Aung San Suu Kyi. He is the first special envoy allowed into the country in more than a year.
