Prabowo: Indonesia Supports Two-State Solution as Path to Lasting Peace
Jakarta (ANTARA) — President Prabowo Subianto reaffirmed that Indonesia, together with the eight Muslim nations comprising the Gaza Board of Peace (BoP), supports a two-state solution as the path to lasting peace for the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.
"We are naturally committed — earlier, several Muslim nations all reaffirmed our commitment to truly achieving lasting peace, and the only path to lasting peace — in several position statements by the group of eight Muslim nations first invited to participate in this Board of Peace effort — for us, the real and lasting solution is the two-state solution," President Prabowo told reporters after the Board of Peace Summit in Washington DC, United States, on Thursday afternoon local time.
President Prabowo and a number of Muslim leaders attended the inaugural Board of Peace Summit held at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace in Washington DC on Thursday morning.
The meeting, chaired by US President Donald J. Trump as host and BoP initiator, lasted three hours and featured intervention sessions in which all leaders and national representatives delivered position statements, including President Prabowo.
According to the President, the first BoP summit proceeded smoothly, given reports of progress in the restoration of life in Gaza following the ceasefire, as well as reconstruction plans that the Board of Peace will carry out going forward.
"Thank God, it went well and smoothly. We have seen the progress that has been achieved. I believe the flow of food aid and essential supplies for the people of Gaza is at its highest level in several years. So food is sufficient, and other necessities are flowing in abundantly. Then we looked at future plans, which appeared very serious. We are determined for this to succeed, because it offers hope for peace," President Prabowo said.
The President said that during the BoP summit, he had reminded attendees that many challenges and obstacles remain in restoring the situation in Gaza.
"In my brief statement, I also reminded everyone that there are many difficulties ahead, many obstacles, challenges — but we must be determined to achieve success for the Palestinian people," President Prabowo said.
The President then called on all parties to remain vigilant against groups that would seek to disrupt the BoP's work towards peace in Gaza.
"Naturally, we must be wary of groups that always wish to derail a comprehensive settlement — they certainly exist on all sides," the President said.
On the same occasion, President Prabowo also expressed his optimism regarding the BoP's plans.
"The future for the people of Gaza will be far better," Prabowo said.
