Vice President M. Jusuf Kalla has planned to visit Afghanistan to meet ulemas and community figures to share experiences on mediation of conflicts and post-conflict restoration.
"The Afghanistan High Peace Council (HPC) has invited me to visit Kabul on Feb 26. They have met me first to laud the visit of President Joko Widodo and the second being to deepen Indonesia`s efforts in resolving conflicts," Kalla stated at the Vice President`s Office in Jakarta on Tuesday.

Kalla will also deliver humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan, as both countries have the largest Muslim population.

Afghanistan has sought Indonesia`s assistance to restore peace.
Kalla said he was not worried about the security condition in Afghanistan.

"When you are planning to resolve conflicts, and it is preceded by fear, then you should not enter the area. However, for me, when I was solved the conflict in Poso, Ambon, and Aceh, we entered the regions with good intention and prayers. When we have good intention, God will help us," Kalla noted.

Kalla had received the Afghanistan HPC delegation at his office on Monday. (antaranews)
