TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Indonesia noted down Australia`s statement to not move its embassy to Jerusalem despite recognizing West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Earlier, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has announced the recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel but would not immediately move its embassy from Tel Aviv.

"Indonesia also noted Australia's position to support the principle of a two-state solution, with East Jerusalem as the future capital of a Palestinian state," according to a statement released by the Indonesian Foreign Ministry in Jakarta on Saturday.

Australia said the country remains committed to a two-state solution. They also resolved to acknowledge the aspirations of the Palestinian people for a future state with its capital in East Jerusalem.

Although delaying the moving of the Australian embassy from Tel Aviv, Morrison said to have a trade and defense office established in West Jerusalem.

"We look forward moving to our embassy to West Jerusalem when practical, in support of and after, final status determination," Morrison said as reported by ABC.

"Indonesia's support for Palestine is a constitutional mandate, and Indonesia will continue to support the struggle of the Palestinian people to get their rights," according to the ministry's statement.
