TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Palestinian Foreign Affairs Minister Riyad al-Maliki and Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi on Tuesday, Oct. 16, held the first bilateral consultation meeting in the ministry building, Jakarta. The meeting was one of the symbols of Indonesia’s continued support for Palestine.

Both ministers discussed efforts for partnership enhancement in the economic sector, such as zero percent import tax for dates and olive oil from Palestine. The ministers agreed to together encourage communications between Indonesian and Palestinian entrepreneurs for business development.

Retno during the meeting affirmed that Indonesia committed to concretely contribute for the development of Palestine by offering fund aid of more than Rp110 billion, from which the latter increased the relief aid for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and intensified the partnership in the capacity building program.
