             TELKOM ACQUIRES PT ARIAWEST AND SETTLES ICC ARBITRATION

BANDUNG, JULY 31, 2003 - Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi
Indonesia Tbk ("TELKOM") is pleased to announce that it has today consummated
the acquisition of PT AriaWest International ("AriaWest") under the Conditional
Sale and Purchase Agreement ("CSPA") dated May 8, 2002, as amended, and has
settled its ICC arbitration with AriaWest.

Following the acquisition of AriaWest, TELKOM now fully operates, controls and
manages KSO III, which operates the fixed-line telecommunications network and
provides fixed-line services in the West Java and Banten region.

TELKOM's President Director, Kristiono, said: "The closing of the AriaWest
acquisition, the settlement of the related ICC arbitration and the restructuring
of AriaWest's bank debt, remove key uncertainties that TELKOM has been facing
and allow TELKOM to move forward in rapidly expanding its network infrastructure
- - including fixed wireless network - in West Java and Banten. As a result, this
transaction should provide real benefits to TELKOM's customers and
shareholders."

TELKOM has acquired all the shares of AriaWest from PT Aria Infotek, Mediaone
International I BV, a subsidiary of AT&T Wireless, and The Asian Infrastructure
Fund, and has settled its ICC arbitration with AriaWest, for US$58.67 million in
cash (US$20 million of which was paid when the CSPA was signed on May 8, 2002)
and US$109.1 million in promissory notes. The promissory notes, which are
interest-free, are payable in 10 equal semi-annual installments.

At the same time, AriaWest's debt has been restructured to the satisfaction of
TELKOM, as required in the CSPA. Debt of US$99.07 million (including accrued
interest) has been repaid on the closing date, and TELKOM has assumed from
AriaWest debt of US$196.97 million under a new four-year TELKOM loan facility.

The final AriaWest purchase price was reduced from the purchase price contained
in the original CSPA. Such reduction, combined with the reduction of debt in the
AriaWest debt restructuring, was of a value equal to the US$25.26 million. This
amount represents the accrued and unpaid interest on the AriaWest debt through
August 30, 2002. In addition, since the original date of the CSPA, all revenues
generated in KSO III were retained in the KSO Unit and were available to TELKOM
to finance the AriaWest acquisition and the related debt restructuring.
