It said the Indonesian government expressed its deep condolences and sympathy to the Egyptian government and people as well as families of the victims.
A car bomb which exploded outside a Coptic church in the tourist city of Alexandria, 141 kilometers north of Cairo, clearly proved that terrorism remains a threat to people and therefore continuous monitoring and cooperation from all parties need to be done to overcome it, it said.
Indonesia remains committed to cooperating with the government of Egypt to achieve their common goal of overcoming terrorism.
The Indonesian government, it said, also supports efforts by the Egyptian government to bring the perpertrators to justice.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak called on all Moslems and Christians on Saturday to prevent terrorism following the bombing early on Saturday.
No one has so far claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Al Azhar grand sheikh, Prof Dr Ahmad Al-Tayyeb and Egypt`s national mufti Ali Goumah had also strongly condemned the attack.
The Egyptian Coptic church leader, Baba Shenouda, meanwhile has called on all Christians in that country to remain calm but alert to possible further attacks which were apparently the work of a hardline group.
The Christians account for about eight percent of Egypt`s total population of 80 million.(*)
