"Our communication with Aisyah, through our staffs and lawyers in Kuala Lumpur, continues to intensify. We have good lawyers, and we continuously monitor the results," Marsudi told the press at the Vice President Palace in Jakarta on Monday.
Refusing to further comment on the case, Marsudi convinced the Indonesia people that her ministry would continue to strive for the best interests of Indonesian citizens abroad, including Aisyah.
She also met with lawyers from Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta to discuss the progress of the murder case against Aisyah in Malaysia.
"From the report received by the team of lawyers, our lawyers feel quite confident (to win the case), because the evidences are very weak," she added.
Lawyer Gooi Soon Seng previously stated that Aisyah will likely be cleared of all charges as Malaysian prosecutors failed to prove that she had a motive to kill Kim Jong-nam.
Seng cited a number of reasons for the acquittal, including lack of eyewitnesses and the fact that the evidence from the prosecution was mostly circumstantial.
According to Seng, CCTV recordings, which are a cornerstone of the prosecutor`s case, do not show Aisyah attacking Kim Jong-nam.
"The prosecution has also failed to adduce any evidence on the motive of the murder," Seng revealed.
The Malaysian court will announce its ruling on Aug 16.
