As leaders of countries making up half of the world’s population firmly opposed military action against Syria without a UN mandate, the US kept pushing for a strike, claiming that many countries represented at the G20 summit were “comfortable” with it …
Indonesia’s Stance:
During his closing speech at the G20 summit, the Russian President pointed out that the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation – Indonesia – was among those “categorically opposed” to a strike against Syria.
Indonesia has been calling on the international community to refrain from extrajudicial justice on Syria, and to wait until UN investigators publish the results of their work.
“Indonesia’s stance is clear. President Yudhoyono has said that, while affirming that the use of chemical weapons against innocent civilians cannot be accepted, we need to ensure who actually carried out the attacks. In this sense, we should wait for the UN’s inspection team to announce the result of its investigation,” Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa said in a statement published on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s official website.
“International responses should not lead to more and worse humanitarian problems. The misery of the Syrian people has been too long and we need to ensure there is no military approach used, but instead peaceful diplomatic measures must be utilized to settle the problems,” Natalegawa added.
I have failed to understand why US and UK repeatedly use the term ‘world’ whenever they put their view or stance publicly or meeting the press..they are just 6% of world. When will you listen them they start..world wants….this and that……..its so funny and ironic…
Their addresses and presentations have become so clumsy and bad jokes.
MT ate my response instead of MODIFICATION.
We hesitate to ‘modify’ comments, as we do not want to change their meanings. May be you could use a bit more diplomatic language so that we do not need to delete it?
An openly humiliating language for a person or place is also not appreciable.
