JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia pledged not to eavesdrop on foreign leaders when it hosts a major summit later this year despite irritation over reports that its own leader was spied on when he was overseas.
Classified documents leaked last month by whistleblower Edward Snowden showed British intelligence services had used "groundbreaking intelligence capabilities" to monitor the communications of visiting world leaders at the G-20 summit in 2009, according to The Guardian daily. Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono attended that gathering.
