Sydney (AFP) -- Indonesian President Joko Widodo wants Australia to become a full member of Asean, signalling Friday he is keen on Canberra playing a bigger regional role in defence, trade and security matters. In a report last month, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute argued that Canberra should aim for Asean membership by 2024 -- its 50th anniversary of being a partner -- and use the Sydney summit as a launch pad.
