REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA, — President Prabowo Subianto stated that Indonesia and France share the same views on Middle East stability, supporting a two-state solution as the key to Palestinian independence and regional peace. This was delivered after bilateral talks with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace on Thursday.
Prabowo stressed that stability in the Middle East was crucial because of its impact on global energy supplies. “Peace in the Middle East is in our common interest. France has been one of the pioneers in driving support for a two-state solution and Palestinian independence,” Prabowo said.
According to Prabowo, Indonesia argues that there will be no peace in the Middle East without a two-state solution and justice for the Palestinian people. He also stated that Indonesia and France could play a constructive role amid global uncertainty and heightened geopolitical tensions.
Prabowo reiterated Indonesia's commitment to support initiatives and diplomatic efforts aimed at maintaining global peace. He added that conflict and war increasingly offer no benefits in a world increasingly connected through advances in science and technology.
“We are pleased that we currently have a comprehensive strategic partnership and expect more concrete, balanced, and impactful cooperation in the future,” Prabowo said.
The bilateral meeting also discussed cooperation in defense, clean energy, education, research, and progress towards the Indonesia-EU Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (IEU-CEPA).
