Coordinating Minister for the Economy Hatta Rajasa said on Monday an intrusion into a hotel room where Indonesian officials were staying during an recent official visit in Seoul, South Korea, was a misunderstanding.
Hatta, who headed a delegation consisting of 50 officials to Seoul between Feb. 14 and 17, said the three apparent intruders were actually hotel guests who happened to enter the wrong room.
“Instead of entering their own room, 1961, the guests unintentionally entered room 2061, which belonged to an Industry Ministry official,” said Hatta on the sideline of a Cabinet meeting at the Bogor Presidential Palace.
“But the misunderstanding was immediately cleared up. And the laptop which was unintentionally opened by the guests consisted only of Power Point slide shows about the condition of our industry which would be presented by Industry Minister M. Hidayat before our Korean counterparts ,” he said.
The delegation stayed at Lotte Hotel, a luxurious establishment located in downtown Seoul.
