RI TO CONTINUE SUPPORTING PALESTINE`S INDEPENDENCE STRUGGLE
Jakarta, June 8 (ANTARA) - Indonesia will continue to support Palestine's struggle to become an independent state, Foreign Affairs Ministry's Multilateral Department spokesman Rezlan Izhar Djenie said here on Monday.
Rezlan made the statement on the sidelines of a United Nations and Pacific Meeting on the Question of Palestine being held at Borobudur Hotel here June 8-9, 2009.
He said Indonesia's commitment would be implemented through its political support and an education program for Palestinian students in Indonesia.
According to Rezlan, if Palestine gained independence one day, the country would need strength in various fields, including education, government, human resources development, and infrastructure sectors.
Commenting on the existence of Israeli settlements y in Palestine at present, Rezlan said it was a challenge the Palestinian people had to face while struggling for their independence.
He said one of the forms of support Indonesia would give to Palestine was to host the United Nations and Pacific Meeting on the Question of Palestine with a number of Asia and Pacific countries.
The meeting is expected to yield a tangible result for the settlement of the Palestinian issue.
Meanwhile, Indonesian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Marty Natalegawa said Indonesia adhered to a clear and
straightforward stance on the Palestinian issue and the two-state concept to achieve permanent peace in the Middle East.
"It is very obvious Indonesia' supports the Palestinian people's struggle to have an independent state," Marty Natalegawa
said, adding that Indonesia was trying to realize its support to Palestine through multilateral diplomacy both in the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly.
"Indonesia is one of the countries in the forefront of inter-national support for the Palestinian struggle for Independence, including during Israel's military attacks on the Gaza Strip," Natalegawa said.
He explained that Indonesia's support for Palestine's struggle was being given not through multilateral diplomacy only in the UN Security Council and UN General Assembly.
He said the other form of Indonesia's support was giving hope to the Palestinian people by hosting the United Nations Asian and Pacific Meeting on the Question of Palestine in Jakarta on June 8-9, 2009.***
