According to Amin, Iran is a country that is committed to maintaining peace and respecting and supporting each other and has never been involved in conflict with Indonesia.
"For Indonesia, our relationship is peaceful, we respect and support each other, and there is no conflict. Our condolences to Iran. Iran is Indonesia's friend," the vice president stated.
