Indonesian President Abdurrahman Wahid yesterday reiterated that he will not resign.

The Antara News Agency quoted the president as saying in Yogyakarta, Central Java, that he would remain in power until the end of his term in 2004 despite mounting calls for his resignation.

Wahid repeated his earlier statement that if he resigned, several provinces, including Riau, Aceh and Irian Jaya, would declare their independence.
