RI calls on OIC countries to help resolve refugee crisis

F

oreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi has called on Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member countries to show leadership to help solve ongoing humanitarian problems related to '€œirregular migrants'€ in Southeast Asia, especially relating to Myanmar and Rohingya refugees,.

Speaking at the 42nd Meeting of the OIC'€™s Foreign Affairs Council in Kuwait on Thursday, Retno said two countries with large Muslim populations, namely Indonesia and Malaysia, had taken measures to tackle the international humanitarian problem, giving examples of steps the two countries had taken to solve the growing refugee crisis.

The meeting'€™s theme, '€œJoint Vision to Strengthen Tolerance and Reject Terrorism'€, accords with the subjects of informal meetings between President Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo and leaders of OIC member countries during the Asia Africa Commemoration Summit in Jakarta from April 22 to 23.

During the summit, President Jokowi and his OIC counterparts discussed strengthening solidarity and cooperation in the Islamic world. (ebf)(+++)
