President Joko Widodo conveyed the spirit of independence for Palestine at the 75th General Assembly of the United Nations

He referred to the Dasa Sila Bandung, a mandate which was made by Soekarno during the Asian-African Conference in Bandung in 1955. Until now, the principles of the Dasa Sila Bandung are still considered very relevant, including the peaceful settlement of disputes, the promotion of cooperation, and respect for international law. 

"Palestine is the only country present at the Bandung Conference that has yet to enjoy its independence," said President Joko Widodo, on Wednesday.

President Jokowi revealed that since the Asia Africa conference, Palestine has remained a major concern for Indonesian diplomacy.

"Indonesia continues to consistently provide support for Palestine to obtain its rights," he concluded. (RRI)
