REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - The Indonesian Air Forces Jupiter Aerobatic team will perform at the Singapore Air Show on Tuesday, despite tension between the two countries regarding the naming of the Indonesian Navy's ship, KRI Usman Harun.

This was an announcement made by Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro  on Monday. "The Jupiter Aerobatic team is already in Singapore and is currently training for the Singapore Air Show."

However, he confirmed that a delegation of high-ranking Indonesian officials comprising Military Chief General Moeldoko, Vice Defense Minister Lieutenant General Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, Chief of Indonesian Air Force Marshal Ida Bagus Putu Dunia, and Chief of Indonesian Army Lieutenant General Budiman would not attend the Singapore Air Show. Purnomo also confirmed that Singapore had cancelled its invitation to 100 Indonesian military personnel to attend the Singapore Air Show.

"We will not make this issue a complicated one. If they (Singapore) cancels the invitation, then we cancel the visit. It is as simple as that," Yusgiantoro emphasized.
