Jakarta (ANTARA) – Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi encouraged Developing-8 or D-8 member countries to work together to help Palestine, amid continuing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip.

In the Extraordinary Meeting of the D-8 Council of Foreign Ministers in Istanbul, Saturday (8 June), Marsudi said member countries namely Indonesia, Turkey, Malaysia, Egypt, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran and Nigeria must strengthen cooperation with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for Palestine.

“The D-8 member countries cannot sit back and relax watching the genocide continue to occur in Gaza,” he said in a statement from his office on Sunday.

During the meeting, he also emphasized that lasting peace, as the main and long-term goal in resolving the Palestinian crisis, would not be possible without a ceasefire.

“This is where everyone, including Indonesia, highlights the issue of a permanent ceasefire. “From the start, Indonesia has consistently called for the importance of a permanent ceasefire,” continued the Minister of Finance.

Before reaching a ceasefire, Marsudi outlined several things that must continue to be done to help Palestine.

First, D-8 members must continue to use their influence to get more countries to recognize Palestine, he said.

“I conveyed this at the end of May in Europe, during a meeting with, among others, the Foreign Ministers of Norway, Spain and Ireland, discussing the importance of recognizing Palestine. In June, I will have several meetings with European countries. for the same purpose,” he said.

Second, the D-8 countries must continue to strive for Palestine to become a full member of the UN.

“This is not an easy path, we have to keep trying. “D-8 must be the driving force for this effort,” he stressed.

Furthermore, the D-8 countries must continue to voice the importance of the smooth delivery of aid and support the work of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

“Indonesia has several times increased its contribution to UNRWA. We also continue to support humanitarian aid. The assistance provided is adjusted to the capabilities of each member country. “Our spirit of solidarity is important,” he said.

The Extraordinary Meeting of the D-8 Council of Foreign Ministers was specifically held to discuss the developing situation in Gaza.

D-8 was founded to advance trade, role and posture in international forums, as well as community welfare. All D-8 member countries are also members of the OIC.
