    JAKARTA, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Indonesia and Timor-Leste are determined to settle problems related with human rights violations by August 2007, a government official said Friday.

    Benjamin Mangkoedilaga, chairman of the Truth and Friendship Commission of Indonesia and Timor-Leste for the Indonesian side, said the revelation of past human rights violations would be followed by recommendations to the leaders of the two countries on how the matters should be settled.

    "We have set the agenda and invited some source persons to give inputs," Benjamin was quoted by the Antara news agency as saying.

    Accompanied by Dionisio Soares, the Commission's Timor-Leste chairman, Benjamin said after a meeting on Bali island the commission would hold its 13th plenary session in Jakarta on June 19-30, during which President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is expected to attend.

    Among the people to be invited to the meeting in Jakarta would be Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda, Coordinating Minister for Legal, Security and Defense Affairs Widodo Adi Sucipto, Minister for Defense Juwono Sudarsono and Police Chief Gen. Sutanto.

    The meeting would especially listen to inputs from former foreign minister Ali Alatas of Indonesia as he had wide knowledge and deep understanding of the situation in Timor-Leste at the time when it was still an Indonesian province, he said.

    The two sides in the commission had also agreed not to take the human right cases to any court and instead to make efforts to intensify the relations of friendship, cooperation between the two countries, he said. Enditem
