The FM stressed Indonesia has contributed to resolving territorial disputes in the East Sea by carrying out continuous diplomatic efforts to ease tensions in the region, adding that his country’s role has been warmly accepted by all relevant countries.
During the presidential debate, Joko Widodo said he does not want to interfere in the East Sea issue. The Jakarta governor added that if he is president, he hopes that Indonesia will be not dragged into an international dispute unless it could contribute a concrete solution.
Responding to Jokowi’s statement, Prabowo Subianto said part of Indonesia’s territory in the region was claimed by another country, and that if he is elected as president, he will pursue a policy to safeguard the country’s sacred territorial sovereignty.-VNA
