The training and workshop showed Indonesian support to the Palestinian independence. “Indonesian manifestation to Palestinian independence is not only in the form of political support, but also in the country development, by providing capacity building programs,” said the Director of Public Diplomacy of Indonesian Foreign Ministry Al Busyra Basnur in Borobudur Conservation Office in Magelang, Central Java on Friday.
Al Busyra said Indonesia had consistently supported Palestinian struggle to their independence. The commitment was stated in the first Asia-Africa Conference in 1965. Recently the Indonesian Government had given workshops and trainings for about 1.700 Palestinians. There were 154 capacity building programs in all sectors including tourism, agriculture, infrastructure, cyber crime, and state administration. He hoped the programs could help them to gain Palestine independence.
