CANBERRA, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- Australia's attorney-general said Wednesday he is "very confident" that Australian and Indonesian authorities have terrorism in the area under control.
Speaking from Indonesia ahead of a meeting between 20 counter-terrorism ministers from Oceania and southeast Asia this week, George Brandis praised Indonesia's role in fighting terrorism in the region.
