Indonesia deeply regrets the failed negotiations that have triggered armed tensions in the region. As a demonstration of its commitment to global peace, the Indonesian government has offered to facilitate dialogue in order to restore a conducive security environment.
“Should both parties agree, the Indonesian President is willing to depart for Tehran to conduct mediation,” stated the official Foreign Ministry statement.
