The Australia-Indonesia free trade deal has been put on hold with the Indonesian Trade Minister confirming there will be no agreement while Australia considers moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Indonesia's Trade Minister Enggartiasto Lukita told reporters in Singapore on Tuesday "it can be signed any time but when you will sign it ... depends on Australia's position [on the embassy]".

Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi has also "stressed that if Australia insists on moving its embassy to Jerusalem, the signing will be delayed," Lukito added in comments reported by the Nikkei Asian Review.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison arrived in Singapore on Tuesday night for the ASEAN summit, his first major international meeting since becoming prime minister in August.
