Aziz said one of the cooperation is to make the recorded clips display clearly.
The Jakarta police released the sketches of the two alleged assailants on Friday.
"These two persons are allegedly attackers of Novel Baswedan. We got these sketches through the cooperation with the Australian Federal Police," he added.
Baswedan was attacked by two assailants riding motor cycle when he was returning from a mosque at dawn in north Jakarta.
