The Indonesian Foreign Minister, Retno Marsudi, attended the Foreign Minister's Level Meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Jeddah, May 29 2019. The OIC State Ministerial Meeting was primarily intended to prepare two document outcomes for the OIC Summit, namely draft Final Communique and resolution regarding Palestine and Al-Quds Ash-Sharif. The 14th OIC Summit itself will be held in Mecca on May 31, 2019.
 
Since the beginning of this series of OKI meetings at the level of Senior Officials, Indonesia has actively contributed to negotiations on the preparation of the final document of the Summit.
 
In the preparatory meeting of the summit, the Indonesian Foreign Minister specifically conveyed the importance of the OIC State to be solid in giving support to the Palestinians. "The OIC must unite and the OIC's steps must be solid and coordinated in supporting Palestine," Retno added.
 
In particular, the Indonesian Foreign Minister stressed that the peace plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must pay attention to three criteria, namely inclusiveness (involving the conflicting parties): comprehensive (not sacrificing Palestinian political rights); and respect the parameters that have been internationally accepted.
 
In addition, the Indonesian Foreign Minister also expressed Indonesia's readiness to become the host of the OIC Summit, when the Asian region's turn arrived.
 
Since the meeting is conducted not in Ramadan, the meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs starts at 23.00 (after tarawih) and closes before the dawn. Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia
