Badung, Bali (ANTARA) – Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi underlined the importance of global parliamentary cooperation in navigating the complex challenges and dynamics of our interconnected world.

“Parliament is not just a legislative institution, but also a bridge between people’s aspirations and public policy,” he said at the 2024 Indonesia-Africa Parliamentary Forum (IAPF) in Nusa Dua, Bali, Sunday.

Amid rising geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, the growing impact of climate change and global challenges, the Minister highlighted the importance of inter-parliamentary collaboration.

He noted that such collaboration enables parliaments to share knowledge and best practices and develop innovative solutions to common problems.

Appreciating IAPF 2024 as a testament to the enduring friendship between Indonesia and African countries, the Minister reiterated Indonesia’s firm commitment to strengthening this relationship through practical cooperation that benefits both parties.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that Indonesia will continue to be committed to strengthening relations by realizing the Bandung Spirit into real cooperation that benefits the people of Indonesia and African countries.

“Despite our geographical distance, our shared values ​​of solidarity and equality, rooted in the Bandung Spirit at the 1955 Asia Africa Conference, continue to unite us,” he said.

Regarding parliament’s efforts to address global challenges, the minister outlined three main areas.

The first is to promote peace and stability.

Stressing peace as a fundamental condition for development, he noted the important role of parliaments in mobilizing international public pressure, supporting humanitarian aid, and advocating for a two-state solution in Palestine.

In addition, parliament has a role in expanding cooperation in sectors with significant potential, such as health, food security, trade, investment, energy and mining.

Finally, he stressed the importance of advocating for developing countries to unite in advancing a development agenda that reflects their unique needs and aspirations,
while also encouraging inclusive North-South collaboration.
