As many as 202 students of SMP Keluarga Kudus junior high school in Kudus, Central Java, staged a peaceful act Saturday by writing friendship letters to Malaysian students over a recent unfavorable relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia.

“We are inviting Malaysian students to tighten our friendship through these letters,” student Ardi Satya said as quoted by kompas.com.

Ardi said that he hoped both Indonesian and Malaysian students could help settling the debate between two countries, especially over a recent incident that saw Indonesian officers arrested by Malaysian authorities in disputed waters off Riau Island.
