Jakarta (ANTARA) - President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed Indonesia's commitment to supporting the Palestinian struggle, particularly regarding the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He conveyed this in a joint statement with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad on Tuesday.
Prabowo said that Indonesia is aligning its foreign policy to support Palestine.
"We are also aligning our foreign policy because we share the same stance and principles, particularly regarding Palestine and Gaza. Our ministers, our foreign ministers, continue to communicate closely, and we will always maintain a shared stance on this matter," he pointed out.
According to Prabowo, Indonesia will not waver in its continued support for Palestine.
Furthermore, Indonesia also supports finding solutions to resolve the conflict.
By deepening ties with countries that hold similar views, Indonesia hopes its diplomatic efforts for Palestine can grow and produce a tangible contribution to lasting peace, Prabowo stated.
On the same occasion, representatives from both countries signed seven memorandums of understanding (MoUs) and cooperation agreements in various fields, witnessed by President Prabowo and PM Sharif.
The signing ceremony and exchange of cooperation documents took place during President Prabowo's official visit to the Prime Minister's official residence (PM House) in Islamabad on Tuesday.
