SEOUL (Reuters) - Three agents for South Korea's spy agency broke into a hotel room occupied by a delegation of Indonesian presidential envoys last week, apparently seeking bid secrets for a defense contract, a news report said on Monday.
The trio left after being confronted by a member of the Indonesian delegation, led by a senior cabinet minister. They had been discovered looking at files on a laptop computer, the Chosun Ilbo newspaper said.
"National Intelligence Service employees were looking to identify the Indonesian delegation's negotiating strategy with a view on our national interest," a senior South Korean official was quoted as saying by the Chosun Ilbo.
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak met the delegation on Wednesday, with defense contracts among the topics discussed. The group was led by Hatta Rajasa, Indonesia's chief economic minister, and included five other cabinet-level officials, including the defense minister.
The break-in reportedly took place at the time of Lee's meeting with the Indonesian officials, the report said.
The National Intelligence Service denied the report.
South Korea has been bidding for a contract to supply trainer fighter jets to Indonesia, the Chosun Ilbo said.

When did South Koreans started making fighter jets? If they can manufacturer fighter jets, why are American soldiers stationed there to defend them?
