TEMPO.CO, JakartaThe United States Ambassador to Indonesia Robert O Blake expected that there will be no military equipment embargo for Indonesia in the future.

"I don't expect there is gonna be embargo or things like that. We expected that our relations continue to expand," Blake said during his visit to Indo Defence Expo and Forum 2014 on Friday as quoted by Antara News.

According to Ambassador, Indonesia and US have entered new phase of defence and military relation.
