"I emphasized Indonesia's stance to always fight for Palestinian independence," Soesatyo stated after the meeting with the Palestinian counterpart.
The speaker remarked that the Indonesian Constitution, which mandated that colonialism on Earth should be wiped out as it is not in accordance with humanity and justice, was the background of all the support.
"We also lauded various efforts by OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation) member countries, UN (United Nations), and other nations who have tried to create peace in Palestine," the speaker remarked.
He noted that Mahmoud Al-Habbash also highlighted various developments related to the Palestinian people's struggle to gain independence.
"He mentioned various issues on the latest developments regarding the struggle of the Palestinian people who have been fighting for their independence for almost 100 years," he stated.
